Philadelphia Eagles defensive end Michael Bennett has had his fair share of run-ins during his time in the league and Sunday was no different when he had a confrontation with a cameraman after the team's loss against the New Orleans Saints.
During the final kneel down, Bennett appeared to try and take off an offensive lineman's helmet, but that was only the start of it.

After the game on the way to the locker room, Bennett confronted a cameraman and although it's unclear exactly why the incident happened, it appears it might have had something to do with Bennett not wanting to be followed. Either way, it didn't appear that the cameraman was in the wrong. It seems like a minor dust up, but it's still something that the NFL could look into to.
Ok, here is the video of #Eagles DT Michael Bennett walking off the field after #SaintsEagles playoff game confronting cameraman from CBS Philadelphia.

Bennett and rest of the Philadelphia Eagles had trouble getting pressure on Drew Brees and he had no issue lighting up their defense, especially in the first half.
There are some questions if Bennett will be back with the team next year. He still has two years left on his contract, but the Eagles can cut him this offseason without there being any cap hit. Bennett is still a big part of the defense, but he has lost a step the last few years and isn't as effective as he was with the Seattle Seahawks.
If nothing else, it seems like a good chance that the team could try to restructure his contract.
