Seahawks

Cowboys’ free-agent DE Michael Bennett said he would love to finish his career with the Seattle Seahawks. 

“I would love to end my career in Seattle,” said Bennett, via Joe Fann of NBC Sports. “It’s not up to you, though. It’s up to the team.”

Bennett believes he could mentor some of the Seahawks’ younger defensive players. 

“I think it could be good. It’s always good to have a good veteran defender that can help young guys. A lot of guys have skill in the NFL, but a lot of them don’t know how to study tape. Having a guy who knows how to study and could bring in some veteran leadership to go along with some great young talent, I would always think that’s a good idea.”

Bennett said he still cherishes his time spent in Seattle from 2013-2017. 

“My time in Seattle was great because I didn’t just grow as a player, I grew as a man, and I grew as an individual. I could never say anything bad about Seattle,” Bennett said. “I feel like Seattle was such a great part of my life. I’m so thankful for the city.”
