Michael Bennett’s at minicamp--it’s mandatory--and immediately fumes

RENTON It took maybe two minutes of his first drill this offseason for Michael Bennett to fume.

The Pro Bowl defensive end showed up as expected Tuesday for the first day of the Seahawks’ minicamp -- because, unlike the organized team activities of the previous two weeks, these minicamp practices are mandatory. And Bennett would rather hold hands with quarterbacks than give away his money to team fines.

His first Seattle practice since the day before January’s playoff loss at Atlanta hadn’t officially started when Bennett was going through a pre-workout pass-rush drill: parrying the arm pads pushed at them by assistant coaches then planting and cutting sharply inside to a make-believe QB.
