Seahawks' Michael Bennett parts ways with agent Drew Rosenhaus

Every weekday morning, we'll round up local and national Seattle Seahawks-related links.

Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett has parted ways with agent Drew Rosenhaus, according to Liz Mullen of the SportsBusiness Journal:

Bennett has made it clear he wants his deal reworked. He thought about holding out last summer, but showed up and had a fantastic season. Bennett has two years remaining on his deal, and the Seahawks will have to determine in the coming months whether they're willing to restructure his contract.


Larry Stone of The Seattle Times took a tour of Pete Carroll's hometown, Greenbrae, California:

One famous story involves Carroll crouching down in the passenger seat, using his left hand to steer and his left foot to manipulate the accelerator. Then he’d drive slowly down the street and honk and wave at people, to whom it appeared the car was driverless.

"Who else but Pete?" chuckled Boro.


Curtis Crabtree of 950-AM KJR offers thoughts on Seahawks wide receiver Kasen Williams making the 53-man roster next season:

It's really difficult to say when we don't know the receivers that will be in camp with them come the end of July. Will Jermaine Kearse be back? Will Ricardo Lockette be able to continue his NFL career after the neck injury suffered last season? Will Seattle draft one (or more) receivers in the draft? Will they add any free agent receivers?

Until we know the full picture, it's difficult to say. But Williams will always have an uphill climb because he's not a special teams player for the team. Seattle requires the lower receivers on the roster to be special teams contributors. Even starters Doug Baldwin, Jermaine Kearse, Tyler Lockett and, previously, Golden Tate have all played special teams. With only 53 roster spots, Williams will lose ties to players that can play special teams. It's why B.J. Daniels and Kevin Smith were promoted to the active roster in 2015 instead of Williams.
