RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett was in attendance during Tuesday's minicamp, but he is not participating because of an ankle injury.

"I'll pretty much be a stand-up comedian for the rest of this week," Bennett said. "Most people pay a lot of money to see comedians of my stature, so it should be fun."

Bennett did not participate in previous voluntary organized team activities and has made it clear that he is not happy with his contact, which has two years left on it. Skipping mandatory minicamp would have cost him $76,580 per day.

Asked about his contract situation, Bennett said, "It's up to the organization, what they do. I just want to be a great teammate and a great player."

But it can't be easy for him to watch defensive linemen like Fletcher Cox get massive deals while Bennett plays under the terms of a four-year, $28.5 million contract he signed in 2014.

"I pay more attention to things like Donald Trump and stuff like that, political campaigns going on right now, different things going on around the world," Bennett said. "People eating too much beef, stuff like that. So I don't really pay attention to too many contracts. It can make your stomach hurt. It's like seeing your favorite girlfriend get married to somebody else."

Bennett, 30, is coming off of a fantastic year in which he totaled 10 sacks and 19 tackles for loss. He started all 16 games and was arguably the Seahawks' most consistent, disruptive defensive player.

At one point Tuesday, he was talking about teammate Frank Clark's potential and said Clark can be a hundred million dollar player.

The question was then turned back on Bennett: Are you a hundred million dollar player?

"Of course I am," Bennett said. "If you look at the stats of those guys that's been… what they've done in the last couple years, I'm at the top of that list in every statistical category. If you look at tackles for loss, quarterback hits, hurries, games played, positions played, I mean, it speaks for itself."

Bennett has said he intends to show up to training camp.

"I just want to be a great teammate, show my support, do everything I need to do so we can get back to Houston, Texas," he said. "I'm very motivated to get back to the Super Bowl. Obviously, it's in my hometown, so me and my brother, that's all we talk about, and that's all it's about."
