That is what the article says, but there is nothing but an unnamed source for that, and there is nothing connecting it to his proposed absence from the voluntary workout.
We'll see what happens when mandatory camps meet up and when training camp comes. I'm thinking he'll be back, but this is exactly the type of thing Schneider said he doesn't want becoming a precedent when he didn't want to extend Lynch last off season.

Well Schneider may have opened a Pandora's Box last year when he broke down and gave Lynch more of his bonus. So hopefully this isn't Bennett pulling the same crap............trying to shake down the front office.

Perhaps, but he didn't really give Lynch anything extra, they just moved some of the money around, which after the extension really means next to nothing. That was much more of a Schneider victory than a Lynch victory.
I don't see Bennett sitting out any games. Heck, we don't even actually know for a fact that he asked to be restructured, but it certainly doesn't hurt to ask.
The fact that he already missed a non-football function Saturday due to a death in the family, leads me to believe he wasn't going to be there this week no matter what, so I'm not even going to flinch until it's a mandatory session...and even then, I'm not hugely worried unless it goes into pre season.

idk, hopefully it's nothing. But between the trade report, Bennett waiting forever to talk about it, AND when he finally did he flat out said "no one's really happy about their contract" this might actually be another link in a chain of him wanting more money.

Players are all for following the fine print of the contract when they get injured, but are eager to "renegotiate" when they have a good year. This could get interesting.
