There is a write up on BR speculating that the 49rs are driving the price up.

He gone.

I'd say it's 50/50.
Remember, the cap wasn't raised that much this year..........which means it could be another soft year for free agents. Guys like Bennett and Avril thought they were going to get big contracts last year, and found out the market wasn't really there. Could be the case again.
Next year and 2016 are the big jump in cap years, so we might get lucky with Bennett. Hopefully he'll shop around and see that he's not going to get 9-10M a year like he wants.
