SEATTLE -- Upgrading their pass rush already figured to be on the Seattle Seahawks' offseason to-do list with that unit producing inconsistently in 2017 and facing questions about whether some of its members will be back.
That becomes an even bigger need with ESPN's Adam Schefter reporting Seattle has agreed to trade defensive end Michael Bennett to the Eagles. It might end up being the Seahawks' biggest need depending on what other major shakeups they make to their roster in general and their secondary in particular.
In sending Bennett to Philadelphia, the Seahawks are parting with a still-effective pass-rusher even if they feel that Bennett, who turns 33 in November and dealt with an assortment of injuries last season, is on the decline.
