Among the reasons the Seahawks may be looking to trade defensive lineman Michael Bennett is a desire to make the team a little “quieter,” according to Ian Rapoport of The NFL Network.
Bennett has always been one of the most outspoken players on the team since arriving in 2013 and one of the most influential voices in the locker room. And while he’s always spoken up about social issues he raised his profile last season by sitting for the national anthem, with most of the other defensive linemen usually joining in.
“One of their core defensive players over the last several years,” Rapoport said on the Up to the Minute show Tuesday.
