Is Michael Bennett overpaid?

Related Topics: Cameron Jordan

More so than any other Seattle Seahawk, the issue of Michael Bennett’s pay finds a way to enter the news. It just has a knack for exposure.

Bennett’s contract history, of course, is then quite well documented and you might have read a story or two about it over the years.

Nonetheless, you at least deserve the Cliff Avril Notes: In 2013, John Schneider signed Bennett as a free agent, along with Avril, to help boost the inconsistent Seahawks pass rush. Three years, 20.8 million. The market allowed it; but after a year of production, Bennett began to make noise about being underpaid.
