After five wonderful seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, defensive Michael Bennett was traded to the Philadelphia Eagles, a team that’s just won its first Super Bowl in franchise history.
Bennett was a vital part of not just the fearsome Seattle defense, but the team’s identity as a whole. He’s never one to shy away from a take, whether football-related or not, and between that and his occasional on-field spats, fan opinion of Bennett is mixed even within the Seahawks community.
I don’t think it’s over-the-top to suggest that this era of Seahawks football has produced a lot of players who are the definition of “You love to hate him, but you’d love to have him on your team.
