Michael Bennett still wants to be traded, per report

Andrew Weber-USA TODAY SportsThe "Michael Bennett to Atlanta" rumors have died down quite a bit after Bennett told ESPN that he never asked for a trade, but he did not deny that he wants a new contract only a year after signing a three-year deal with Seattle. Now, those trade rumors are likely to heat back up, as Jason La Canfora reports.

He's kinda sorta tried to say that he didn't really want to be dealt after all, but that's not flying anywhere. He and his agent have made it clear he'd rather not be back in Seattle and while the Seahawks aren't ones to back down, perhaps something emerges that makes sense for all parties prior to the start of the regular season. Kind of odd not to be so…
