Seahawks extend Michael Bennett

The Seattle Seahawks have signed 32-year old, DL Michael Bennett to a 3-yr extension worth $31.5M, $17.5M in guaranteed cash. This signing keeps a vital piece of the Legion of Boom around until 2020. The Seahawks have now locked up Richard Sherman, Bobby Wagner, Earl Thomas, K.J. Wright and Cliff Avrill until at least 2019.This was a smart move by the Seahawks to give Michael Bennett what he asked for. Michael Bennett is arguably the most vital part of the front 7 for the Seahawks defense that has been the best defense in the league more than not since he’s been there. The money seems to be accurate as this contract marks him as the 3rd highest paid 4-3 defensive end in the league. In my opinion he is the most versatile player and probably the best at his position outside of Khalil Mack who is more of a hybrid defensive end.
