scs787 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 Welp.... Brad Biggs @BradBiggs 1m Michael Bennett to #Seahawks on a 4-year contract reports @ProFootballTalk Adam Schefter @AdamSchefter 1m And now, as @ProFootballTalk reported, Seattle's deal with DE Michael Bennett is done. Expect it to be four years, about $34 million. If the rumored numbers are true and the Bears offered the same 8.5M then the whole "Bears won't spend the money" argument is out the window. Lame. Guess he wanted a better chance to win, which I can respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stopped saying the Bears are Cheaper a long time ago. When they signed Peppers I said I wouldn't say it anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, I agree with that, Emery has spent big money as well (Bringing in Marshall, Cutler deal, Bushrod and MartyB deals were cheap year 1 but expensive overall) Well, on to Michael Johnson or Lamarr Houston.

Houston is listed as a DE, but it says he played DT somewhere else. at 6'3 300 I would think he is built more like a DT. I liked Johnson coming out of GT, hope they can make a play at him. Wouldnt it be cheaper to sign him than Bennett? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With Everson Griffen signing for around the same money as Bennett I have no clue what to expect anymore. Rotoworld said Houston, while listed at 300, looks more around the 275 range, he's a DE, and he's fantastic against the run. Getting after the QB he's just kinda meh. Johnson's interesting, sack number fell big time but he still got after the QB and he's good against the run Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scs787 Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 28.5M for Bennett...Wow. All reports say that's less than what the Bears offered. Respect for goin after titles over $$$. Hopefully the Bears make him regret it by winning one before Seattle. ProFootballTalk @ProFootballTalk 2m Everson Griffen, with one career start, gets $8.5M/year with Vikings. Michael Bennett takes $7.125M/year to stay in Seattle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really expecting $8-10 for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, apparently 2 teams offered more money. I share the same hope. Hoping for Johnson or Houston at 5-7M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'TD' Posted March 10, 2014 Report Share Posted March 10, 2014 The title change and first post in this thread threw me off lol. I was like why would Bennett signing with Seattle hurt us financially. I had to do a double take till i realized what happened lol. The Bears have failed horribly in the past at finding DE's in the draft. I was hoping to see him signed. He may not be Peppers in his prime, but I'd put him up there with Ogunleye. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
