Seahawks defensive lineman Michael Bennett appeared on NFL Network's NFL Total Access this afternoon and dropped some pretty heavy hints at a potential holdout for a new contract.

Scott Hanson was hosting a question-and-answer segment with Bennett and the subject turned to Bruce Irvin's contract situation. After discussing that briefly, Hanson looked to segue to the rest of the group, saying "[Irvin's] still with the team now. 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?"

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

These are curious comments from Bennett, who's made it clear that he is not happy with the four-year deal he signed last March. Bennett's contract is for $32 million with $16 million in guarantees. The Seahawks, meantime, have made it clear that they do not restructure contracts until the final year of the deal -- and they held fast against Marshawn Lynch's holdout last season because they did not want to set a precedent for that.

Bennett's unhappiness with his deal a year into it has also led to some reports out there that he wants to be traded. He denied that last week.

"I think everyone who has a job, they want a raise for whatever they're doing," Bennett told King-5's Margaret Larson on New Day NW. "I'm just like any other American. I think everybody wants to be paid a little bit more so I don't think I fall short of that. People assume when you ask for a little more money, they assume that you want to be traded or something like that. But that's not what I'm trying to go for.

When asked directly by the New Day NW host if he wants to get traded, Bennett replied, "no."

Nevertheless, we'll see where this disagreement between Bennett and the team ends up.
