Bob Condotta, of the Seattle Times, reported last night that Michael Bennett and his agent Doug Hendrickson are meeting with the Seahawks about a possible contract extension. ESPN has already reported the two sides were scheduled to meet, but the “new news” is that it will be about an extension....
There is little question that you have excelled in your job when someone agrees to pay you top dollar. That is what reportedly happened when Paul Allen opened up his wallet to give John Schneider a new five-year contract. Schneider has piled up a dizzying number of shrewd personnel decisions since...
It happened. It finally happened. News broke tonight that John Schneider has signed a five-year contract extension that will pay him top dollar, and keep him in Seattle through the 2021 season.
