Bennett was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Seattle Seahawks in 2009. However, his initial stint with the team was short-lived, and he was waived after six months. In October 2009, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers claimed him off waivers and assigned him to his natural position at defensive end. Over the next three years with Tampa Bay, he developed into a reliable defensive presence. His breakout season came in 2012 when he recorded 41 tackles and a career-high 9 sacks.
In 2013, Bennett re-signed with the Seattle Seahawks on a one-year, $4.8 million deal. He became a key figure in one of the NFL’s top defenses, contributing to the Seahawks' victory in Super Bowl XLVIII. Despite dealing with injuries early during his return tenure, he remained an important part of the team. His consistent performance and experience made him a valuable asset, and he later signed a multi-year extension with Seattle, with the contract running through 2018.
Michael Bennett married Pele Bennett in 2015. The couple met at a social event and developed a strong relationship before deciding to marry. They currently have two children together. In addition to his professional accomplishments, Bennett is also known for his philanthropic efforts and activism.
As of recent estimates, his net worth is approximately $20 million, derived from his NFL contracts and endorsements. His biography and career details are widely documented, including on Wikipedia and other major sports publications.
