Seahawks' Bennett rips Sam Bradford
Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett lambasted Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Sam Bradford on Tuesday over his trade demands.
Bradford requested a trade when the Eagles acquired the second overall pick, that was used to select quarterback Carson Wentz. The Eagles' quarterback participated in practice Tuesday.
"I listened to Sam Bradford again. I just almost threw up. I can't believe Sam Bradford is complaining about making $40 million in the next two years, and because he actually has to compete for a position," Bennett said via ESPN's Sheil Kapadia. "This guy ... this guy right here definitely sets a bad tone of what a player should be. If I was his teammate, how can you play with a guy that doesn't want to compete at a high level and feels like his position should be solidified without even putting up the stats or the wins to back that up?"
Bennett is one of the league's most candid interviews. It'll be compelling to see whether his sentiment reverberates around the league.
