"I want to be back here 100 percent. I love the team, I love my teammates," Bennett said Wednesday, per The Daily Herald in Everett, Wash. "Pete (Carroll) does a great job of letting us play, so I want to be a part of that. I know we can go back and win a Super Bowl again with all these guys. It's a business, but I definitely want to be back."
"That doesn't matter much," Bennett said. "I know he wants me to come out there and get a chance to play with him, but I'm definitely a Seahawk and I definitely want to be here for the rest of my career."

BUT, some of them change their minds when their team lowballs them or tells them they can't pay them what they think they're worth.
I love Bennett and what he means to this defense, but I can't see us matching what other teams with way more cap room are going to offer him. That's the downside of winning the SB, other teams with more money than you are willing to overpay for your players.

Snag up another ring (or two ), get that sense of accomplishment, then go have some fun with his brother while making some extra loot.

There's no way in hell he signs another one year deal, not after the year he had on a SB winning team.
I can almost guarantee you that Schneider is as we speak trying to lock him up into a 2-3 year deal to avoid letting Bennett test the free agent waters.
Tate? I think the plan for both Tate and Baldwin is to LET them test free agency, because like I said their value isn't going to be high. Then let them come back once they see that they're not going to break the bank and sign a 2 year deal for 2-3 million.
