Potential Falcon profile: Michael Bennett

These “profiles” have so far been reserved for potential free agents whom the Falcons may target when the legal tampering period begins on March 12, but this is a unique circumstance.

Michael Bennett, the pro bowl defensive lineman for the Seattle Seahawks, is on the trading block, and according to ESPN’s Vaughn McClure, the Atlanta Falcons have checked in. We may see Atlanta make its biggest offseason trade acquisition since trading a second-round pick for Tony Gonzalez in 2009.

Bennett has been selected to represent the NFC in the Pro Bowl each of the past three years and has proven to be an impact player for Seattle ever since he signed with them as a free agent in 2013.
