Report: Richard Sherman, Michael Bennett Nearly Fought over Russell Wilson

Following a poor performance by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson in a 2016 loss to the Green Bay Packers, cornerback Richard Sherman and defensive end Michael Bennett reportedly almost got into a physical altercation.

In a feature story on the Seahawks by Greg Bishop and Robert Klemko of Sports Illustrated, it was noted that there was a rift in the locker room regarding Wilson and the notion that he was coddled by head coach Pete Carroll.

The alleged issue between Sherman and Bennett occurred when Sherman wanted to confront Wilson about his performance in a private meeting, which Bennett objected to.
