After missing the playoffs for the first time since 2011, the Seattle Seahawks are likely in for an offseason full of changes. If the team wants to get younger on the defensive side of the ball, and save some money, they could release defensive lineman Michael Bennett. Bennett, 32, is under contract through 2020, but the Seahawks can get out of their deal without huge financial implications.

Bennett, who is well aware of his uncertain future in Seattle, had this to say after their regular season finale, “I probably won’t be back next year. Just seems like it’s a young man’s game. I can see them going younger, with younger players. That’s part of the game.”
