The defender, who on Saturday will play his 100th consecutive match with South Adelaide in the SANFL, is good friends with Devils coach Daryn Cresswell.
Cresswell said yesterday he has been in touch with the key position player, who at 188cm and 95kg could help bolster a young and inexperienced backline.
Bennett played 32 games with the Swans between 1999 and 2002, kicking 11 goals.
He has been one of the shining lights for the Panthers this season, who sit second-last with just four wins.
"I have spoken to Bennett for next year, he would be good for the group we have got at the moment," Cresswell said.
