Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett has been the subject of trade rumors all offseason. Bennett then came out and said those rumors weren't true, but he does want a raise in his contract.

Whether Bennett wants a trade or a raise, it is clear he is not too happy with the Seahawks front office. On Thursday, Bennett appeared on NFL Network's NFL Total Access when host Scott Hanson decided to start asking Bennett about the offseason and the talent currently on the roster.

"You guys have added some good pieces. You're back. Other guys as well. What do you think of your team real quick for 2015?"

Then Bennett replied with a comment that suggests he may not be showing up for offseason activities.

"I think the team is explosive," Bennett replied, stopping himself to say, "actually, I'm not back just yet. Not just yet."

The words "not just yet" do not seem like a good sign for the Seahawks. Those words suggests Bennett is likely waiting for a new contract before he fully commits to joining the team.
