Martellus Bennett plans to recruit his brother to the Bears,

[plyka]

Seattle will just have to pay as much or more than the other teams that offer him a contract, including Chicago. Thats usually how it works for most free agents. I doubt a guy like Bennett would take substantially less than market value from either Seattle or Chicago. As an UDFA and then a 1 year contract guy, he hasn't made a ton of money yet. He will be looking to get paid. I consider keeping him to be of paramount importance.

Yeah, Bennet takes care of those important to him --like everyone that starts with him, his family and friends. He should and probably will take the best contract available. Luckily for us, he is not yet being considered a premier player. No one on the Hawk D-Line made the pro bowl, which nmeans he is not getting the recognition. This is the type of player that you can retain at a reasonable price. Hopefully somewhere around 5-6m per year.

If it's going to cost more, I'd probably stick to keeping your core: Sherman, Thomas, Wright, Wagner, M Smith and possibly Irvin. Then be selective when it comes to the D-Line, keep your players that you can keep at a reasonable price.
