When news broke last week that Seahawks’ defensive lineman Michael Bennett had hired Marshawn Lynch’s former agent, Doug Hendrickson, it became clear that the 2015 Pro Bowl Defensive MVP hoped to move things along more quickly in trying to work out a new contract with the team.
NFL.com reported Sunday that things indeed may be progressing with Ian Rapoport Tweeting that the team and Bennett’s new agents at Relativity Sports met this week at the NFL combine.
That’s no surprise as coach Pete Carroll said when he met the media on Thursday that he had had some talks with Bennett at the Pro Bowl and did not deny that the team might work on a new deal for him, but said that the draft and free agency would likely be more immediate priorities than redoing current contracts.
