Ah, there’s nothing like the NFL Scouting Combine to fire up rumors of the Seahawks trading some of their biggest stars. Last year Richard Sherman was the rumor mill favorite.

We touched on this earlier, but it’s time to go a bit deeper as the rumors are growing.
As Lee wrote in his article, the Seahawks won’t save a lot of cap space by moving Bennett. The great site spotrac.com shows that Seattle would take a cap hit of $5.
