Michael Bennett inks $31.5M extension with Seahawks

While Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett seems to enjoy himself everywhere, his contract situation was a point of contention for him at times. The 31-year-old defensive end has seriously out-played the four-year, $32 million deal he signed back in 2014.

Now, Seahawks general manager John Schneider is making it right.

Bennett signed a contract extension with the Seahawks on Friday, the team announced. NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported that it's a three-year extension worth $31.5 million with $17.5 million in guarantees. At the end of October, Rapoport noted Bennett was working on the deal with the team.
