This per Rotoworld just now.....


Seahawks re-signed DE Michael Bennett to a four-year, $34 million contract, including $16 million guaranteed.
He chose to stay with the Super Bowl champs over the Bears, who were reportedly offering more money. Bennett, 28, "started" only three games in 2013 with Seattle, but racked up 8.5 sacks and a forced fumble while playing both defensive end and tackle, primarily operating as a sub-package pass rusher. He's not an every-down player, but the Seahawks are big believers in "wave" rotations up front, and Bennett's versatility is critical in their philosophy. The Bears may now attempt to make a late run at free agents Michael Johnson and Lamarr Houston, the top remaining available defensive ends.

I think it really hits home how quickly this job can be taken from them when a close call happens to them.
I hope we can re-sign him, but I wish him well wherever he goes because he was a big part in getting the Championship monkey off our back.


Sometimes it's good to be wrong. :)

Glad it wasn't posturing after all...
