Seahawks DE Bennett Rips Tannehill + 'Mediocre QB's', Contract

What a dope.

He also wants to renegotiate the deal he signed LAST YEAR!

Become a QB is the best thing I can tell him. QB is arguably the hardest position in sports, there is a reason these guys get paid!

He levels into Tannehill but praises Cam Newton, what has Newton ever done to be considered elite? One of the most overrated QBs today.

He's absolutely got a point. He probably should have articulated it without pointing out Ryan Tannehill specifically because it's going to obscure his message, but QB pay is becoming problematic.

The pie is expanding, but quarterbacks are eating a bigger percentage of what players share. Mediocre quarterbacks are getting paid more than 95%+ of the starters in the league. It's a problem almost in the same kind of vein as top-10 picks were before the rookie salary ranges were instituted.

Didn't Tannehill handle the 'Hawks' defense last time Seattle played Miami?

Tannehill is a better QB then he is a DE so really he should shaddup. The dude has been complaining about his pay as long as hes been in the league it seems. Hes no Darrelle Revis (i.e. hes not an elite player) that hes good enough to always be complaining about his pay.

I guess he should have been the QB.

LOL @ Tom Brady can take a hit. Clearly he's delusional.

Thats football. You value the one Quarterback far more than you do a role player whom you don't expect to play every down. Anyways, We shouldn't expect a meathead DE to understand the business side, and/or how much less of an asset he is to the franchise's success. Something tells me another mediocre Pass rusher will come my way sooner than later.

Tannehill got exactly what all the other (good)Qbs are getting these days. Just because it's THAT much $... Don't assume he was given elite $. How much less than the likes of Newton,Dalton,Kaepernick etc. do you really expect him to demand on the market?

I thought the same thing, his argument went out the window when he said that. Brady is the biggest crybaby in the league after he takes a hit.

His point is correct. He should not have been name dropping names though. That's not going to help him get his contract any faster.

hey man Ill take anything that pisses Ryan off and makes him play like he did in london last year..this is public embarrassment, no better kind imo...thank you dumbbell bennet with your big dumb mouth.

He's an idiot and here's why....(its not because he picked on Tannehill)

He cancels out his argument. He says:

If I was (Miami's) Ryan Tannehill and the most games I ever won was seven, how could you get a $100 million for that? I guess that's the value of the position.

He says Tannehill has only won 7 games, implying that the QB is responsible for wins and losses. So, if the QB is responsible for wins and losses then even average ones are worth the contracts they are getting. What's 8 wins worth to a team?

You beat me too it!

The only thing he's right about is the extent that they protect QB's over other players.

Come on DJ , this kind of stuff isn't motivating 17 , nor should it . He's focused , he's progressing and will continue to do so because of his own inner make up .

Hes not wrong lol did not find anything wrong in that article.

You're not a fan of logic then.

This X1000. I am from North Carolina and am so sick of hearing Panther fans rail on about Cam and how awesome he is. I know it was one quarter of one preseason game, but the game on Saturday revealed just how much more polished of an NFL QB Tannehill is and it's not even close.

Well, I think he is semi *****ing that Tannehill got paid, and the subtext is "..better than Russel Wilson"

THill's 4th qtr comeback record is not very good, thus "won 7 games", watch the games and our D consistently collapses in the 4th qtr. Perhaps if we had larger leads in the 4th qtr etc, still and all..tough cookies Mr Bennett..stop hatin'

He can...he falls apart and sees ghosts and can't hit the broad side of a barn afterward...but he can take 'em.

He's just hating on people smarter than he is...i.e. Quarterbacks...

Ya their salary is way higher...but how much more rare are starting, franchise quarterbacks compared to DL players? Supply and demand...nothing new here.

He's just a crybaby idiot. I hope he and Chancellor BOTH sit out, and don't get paid, and have to pay all them fines while damaging their reputation.

I wish I had $5 for every time somebody on this forum said, "the Seahawks are going to run into major money issues once they give RW his contract."

This is the second NFL player to come out and bash Tannehill about his contract. The other is a punter (lol).

Give 'em hell, RT.

Bennett was on the Bucs at the time.

I know that we are the first team in NFL history to give a quarterback that has never made the playoffs over 100 million.
