If the market is anywhere near last year we should get him for 6-7 million it's the length of the deal that will be the sticking point.

I realize both units help eachother out to be successful, that's true of any defense, but the way our defense operates, Thomas/Chancellor/Sherman are key.
Barthawk":3fe4wiq1 said:Suggs, who is 31 and has a more impressive resume than Bennett, just re-upped with the Ravens for 4yrs. It appears like a 2yr, 16M contract.. 11M signing bonus, and 16M guaranteed. 1M salary in year one, and 4M guaranteed in year two.
I see that contract as one to shoot for if I were in Bennett's camp and for the Seahawks, that would be pretty team friendly as well.
Correct. Especially given Suggs basically set the market for 2nd/3rd tier DE's and that where Bennett is at. Greg Hardy he's not.brettb3":2v8ubari said:I think a lot of you guys are overestimating what Bennett will command on the open market. The Hawks will have the ability to create the cap space to re-sign Bennett and Tate while keeping the LOB together, if they so choose.

I agree with you but let's not forget we had Thomas/Chancellor/Sherman the game we couldn't stop Atlanta. I think the pass rush is what put this team over the top so I hope the team is willing to go to lengths to keep it together.

Michael Johnson, Lamarr Houston, Jared Allen, Everson Griffen, Justin Tuck) so teams that really need a DE for pass rush have choices. Bennett got 8.5 sacks, not great numbers if your an outsider looking in.

having clemons and avril is a much different animal than just having irvin.
plus we almost wont that game.
I dunno. I just don't want us to break the bank for bennet. the way our secondary works we have to keep those guys. lose one, you break the whole system.

Who was Seattle's last interior pass rusher with 8.5 sacks. this Seattle secondary works best with a interior force like Bennett. Without Bennett their is no superbowl and P. Manning would hahe sve picked this L.O.B. apart. some Fans forget how the Seahawks were handled late in games in '12 when it counted most. So show respect and pay the man what he is due. On defense i think Seattle should basically build around E.Thomas,Chancellor,Sherman, and Bennett everyone else can be replaced.
