Michael Bennett blames the Glazers for having to leave the Buccaneers

It seems Tampa Bay Buccaneers fans aren’t the only ones who are still hung up on Michael Bennett leaving town for the Seattle Seahawks in 2013. Bennett was the team’s leading pass-rusher in 2012, when the Bucs desperately needed to add defensive ends, and yet they made no real efforts to re-sign him.

Now Bennett told ESPN’s Jenna Laine that he’s still confused about why he had to leave, and that ownership seemed to be a key reason.

"I just feel like the Glazers (Tampa Bay's owners) didn’t like me for some reason," Bennett said.
