Great get. Fills the pass rushing 3-tech role vacated by JJones. No such thing as too many pass rushers either apparently!

You took the words right out of my mouth -- that was my exact reaction when I first heard about this (about 2 minutes ago here in this thread). Dang, I love .Net for the Latest news.
The funny thing was is that I was thinking about starting a thread this morning, noting the LACK of interest that Michael Bennett seemed to be getting in the FA Market. Ata Baby John! Way to swoop in and carry away another shiny prize back to the nest.
If this defensive line DOES what I think they'll be capable of ... then perhaps they're going to need their OWN nickname (i.e the Fearsome Foursome, the Purple People Eaters, etc.). :th2thumbs:

Why would this mean cutting Clemons? Just keep them. We need a good rotation and I think cutting Clemons would be stupid.

Don't forget, we now have a 6'7 TE. Maybe he can't stretch the field, but a definite treat in the red zone.

Lol. I forgot he wore #96. During preseason of course. All I remember is that he tore it up in preseason. I was pissed he was released.

Does this signing move Bruce Irvin out of an every-down role? I can certainly see Avril and Bryant (maybe Bennett) starting on the other. Then Bennett slides inside during passing situations when Irvin comes onto the field.
It is awesome that they have changed a position of weakness into hopefully a position of strength. A lot of talent out there. When Clemons comes back, if productive, this unit can be very scary. Just think of all the combinations. Outstanding stuff front office! I give kudos for this one.

Harbag and the Winer's kept chanting their annoyingly stupid little question all year... "Who's got it better than Us?!?!?"
I guess John Schneider and Pete Carroll answered it....

I never expected this.
There will be no Chukwurah this year. Nope.

My wife is going to need an episiotomy, I just found this out, oh man, we are......insert adjective.
Wow! This is just amazing! We got my boy!!!
Bennett is the guy I wanted the most this off-season on defense. More than Bryant, more than Avril. I mentioned a few days ago that he fit the Jason Jones mold to a tee. Just an inch shorter and a pound lighter. I've watched him play for Tampa and he's just constantly getting after the passer from EVERYWHERE. He probably won't line up at LEO much, but he can definitely play the 3/1/5 techs all effectively. JonRud told me about this while I was at work and I started going NUTS. I'm pretty sure everyone in Queens hates the Seahawks by now because I just can't shut up about them. And why would I? This front office is just astonishing. Just when you think they're done, they pounce again and again and again!
Take a minute to step back and enjoy this ladies and gents. We are witnessing greatness. A dynasty is being forged. Seattle has become the hotbed of the NFL and everyone is taking notice. It's not just the glitz and glam moves like Harvin and Avril, it's the moves like this one that will make us champions. And how sweet it will be! WOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Dare I ask for Amobi Okoye. Will they listen to my calls to the heavens once again!?

My feelings exactly! Was driving down the road listening to ESPN radio when they announced it. My brain tried to tell me it was Cliff Avril they were talking about but then I started giggling like a school girl (see Tate, Golden) and thought "This is ridiculous!"
One other thing that helps, is the way our other players have been brought up to speed, then treated right when they need to leave or re-sign.

You gotta be in paradise right now with the sheer L-O-V-E Seattle is getting right now for the moves they are making ...
3 days ago, right after news broke of the Harvin deal, Schefter Tweeted ...
This morning (prior to news of Bennett), he gave a good description of what we're seeing ...
I mean forget Glasnost ... what we're seeing right now is FULL ON, up the ante, pile on the nukes Cold War era stuff from the Hawks and 49ers right now. And right now ... I'd say our arsenal is bigger than their arsenal.
