Seahawk Michael Bennett on being fined by NFL: “It never makes any sense”

As might have been expected, Seattle Seahawk defensive end Michael Bennett didn’t agree with the decision of the NFL to fine him last week for a hit at the feet of Dallas quarterback Matt Cassel in a game a week ago Sunday.

Bennett was particularly peeved that he was fined $20,000 while Dallas’ Jeff Heath was not fined for his hit on Seattle receiver Ricardo Lockette that will end Lockette’s season and resulted in him having surgery on his neck.

“They fine me for falling into a guy’s leg and he (Heath) was looking and intentionally looking for a guy and calling him out and going and hit that guy,” Bennett said.
