Bennett traded to Eagles.

Him and Avril coming in to get a pass rush to force qbs to throw into Sherman and Chancellor and Thomas really took Seattle's defense to the next level.

Bennett can still play when he wants and should have 1 or 2 years left at a decent level in the right system, though his annual contract complaints were always a challenge. And he plays right on the edge too, both on timing to get across the line, and aggressive in some of his hits.

Sherman seems to be on way out as soon as today too, coming of Achilles surgery course. Most don't like his trash talk and speaking his opinions, but he backed it up his while career and basically eliminated the right side options for qbs who didn't throw there.

Graham likely gone. A bad signing Zach Miller was a great TE,steady and reliable as Wilson's safety valve. Putting all the resources they did into Graham was overkill and never really worked out.
Wilson taking over Grudens QB camp show on ESPN, too.
Rounding out Seahawks news from earlier in offseason is that basically most of their coaches have moved on. Norton back though as DC after a week in Oakland. Schottenheimer as OC.

So, the rebuild is on. A lot of good teams in this era, and 1 play away from back to back to back Superbowl wins.

A rebuild of the defense up front with Avril and his injury and now Bennett gone. Good Lbs still. Secondary with Chancellor assuming his injury is ok and Thomas still there.
Offensively have to find a running game, a reliable o line and some playmaker outside if Baldwin at reciever.
Will have some money to do that with the loss of Bennett, Sherman and Graham.
