Seattle Seahawks defensive linesman Michael Bennett has revealed that he may not turn up to the start of training camp if he doesn't get the contract offer he feels he deserves.
The 29-year-old is set to play in his third season for the former Super Bowl champions, but insisted that he has "outplayed" his current deal and is happy to stay in Hawaii while talks take place.
He told radio station KHON: "Hawaii's weather is great, so I'll just keep it at that. When the weather's not as nice as it is here, it's harder to make that decision, so it just keeps it in my mind like hopefully something great comes out of it, but I don't mind staying home for a little while.
"Of course, I think I've outplayed the contract that they gave me. It's one of those things where you have to let your agent do the talking with the team and hopefully something good comes out of it. It never hurts to try."
Bennett joined the team from the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2013.
