Exploring trade for Michael Bennett should be on Falcons' agenda

INDIANAPOLIS -- Since the Seattle Seahawks have decided to make defensive lineman Michael Bennett available via trade, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the Atlanta Falcons investigate the asking price.

If fact, it should be expected.

The Seahawks certainly could use a running back, but the Falcons already made it clear they have no intentions to trade explosive backup Tevin Coleman. However, bolstering the defensive line is one of the Falcons' top offseason priorities, and there's a natural tie when it comes to Bennett. Falcons coach Dan Quinn previously was the defensive coordinator and defensive line coach in Seattle and spent plenty of time around Bennett.
