Bennett (I'm pretty sure) signed a multi year deal). Avril is under contract so he was not offered anything similar. I'm completely blown away by what people post without doing any research at all.
If you're referring to the post above yours which I think you are, you're not reading his post correctly. He's saying when both Bennett and Avril initially signed to the Hawks in 2012, Bennett signed a 1 year 5mil prove it deal and Avril signed like a 2 year 13mil deal. Now last year after the Bennett's 1 year contract was over, he cashed in on a great season. Avril didn't get that opportunity to cash in because he initially signed a 2 year deal instead of a 1 year prove it deal and is having not that great of a season so far.
Hate to be an ass, but it just annoys me when people call other people out and didn't even understand what was being referenced.

Why couldn't we move up to draft Aaron Donald?? He is looking like a possessed beast already as a rookie. He was chasing even the receivers today.
Cmon there's a lot of things to complain about, but that's not even realistic without giving up the farm. He was taken at like #14, we were picking at #32...would've cost that first and next years first at the least. Absolutely crazy for that to happen.

Clemons has four sacks so far. Jared Allen has 1.5. Who'd have thunk it?
I'm guessing Seattle lands Cameron Wake this next offseason.
Cameron Wake? He's 32. I dunno. Carroll and Schneider typically don't like the older free agents.
Wake would be a downgrade from Avril, IMHO.
Yeah his age is a cause for concern, but the dude has been a monster since he's been in the league from the CFL. Most underrated pass rusher in the league and has been for a long time, he's honestly on par with some of the top guys. I personally think he's a clear upgrade from Avril especially if we're just looking at the season so far. Hate to just look at stats alone, but it shows a little glimpse of how good he's been.
