INDIANAPOLIS At the end of this past season Michael Bennett told me “I probably won’t be back” with the Seahawks in 2018.
Thursday, in his first public comments in two months, coach Pete Carroll didn’t exactly squash the possibility that Bennett will end up right. The possibility that the 32-year-old, three-time Pro Bowl defensive end has played his last game for Seattle.
“I haven’t talked to Mike in a while now,” Carroll said from the NFL scouting combine inside the Indiana Convention Center, “but it’s the time of year, conversations going in all directions.”
That was a few minutes after Carroll was asked if, with all the overhaul of the coaching staff and the changes in players still to come, this may end up being a “franchise-altering” offseason for Seattle.
