RB Marshawn Lynch discusses with Richard Sherman the pain he felt when Russell Wilson called an audible on the 1 yard line in Super Bowl 49.
Lynch: "It's almost as painful as if it was [yesterday]"

OC Ryan Grubb is in talks with Ryan Fitzpatrick to be the team's new Quarterbacks coach.
Fitzpatrick has a close relationship with Geno Smith, going back to their time together on the New York Jets and is eager to help Geno take the next step forward.
Surprised more people aren't talking about this *bombshell* from Bready Henderson's article on ESPN.
Russell Wilson reportedly called an audible at the end of SB 49 so he could win MVP instead of Marshawn Lynch.

and WR DK Metcalf are said to be working towards a 3 year $69M contract extension. It appears both sides are working hard to reach the climax
#12s
are hoping for this off-season.
I'm told part of the divide between Pete Carroll &
#Seahawks
ownership was about the willingness to draft a rookie QB.
Pete Carroll was apparently adamant the team is "so close" to winning w/ Geno Smith; whereas ownership & front office have their eyes on a "dream" pick at QB.
Sources tell me the
#Jets
&
#Seahawks
were in talks to trade CB Sauce Gardner in a deal that included Seattle’s
#5
overall pick.
This trade was ultimately vetoed by Pete Carroll who believes Gardner is too afraid to get close to people, both in coverage & the locker room
It’s come to my attention the Broncos and Rams will play on Nickelodeon on Christmas Day.
Seahawks Twitter must be ready to rig the voting and make Russell Wilson the NVP (Nickelodeon Valuable Player). Be ready.
Pete Carroll is the man who gave Russell Wilson and Geno Smith a chance to start NFL games and was RIDICULED by fans and the media alike.
The greatest believer of all time.
Pete Carroll probably should’ve fired Darrell Bevell after SB 49 but instead took responsibility for what happened.
Kyle Shanahan fired Steve Wilks after Sunday’s SB & then later criticized him on a conference call.
Speaks volumes about both men and their leadership IMO.
No matter how many times players burn bridges on their way out, they always come back for Pete.
Seeing Russell come back to Seattle for this moment is worth crying over.
What did Pete Carroll think about former QB Russell Wilson surprising him at dinner? What did Russell & Richard Sherman talk about as he was leaving the party?
Click here to watch a snippet of the interview and be sure to tune into the final Pete Carroll Show tomorrow at 8am.
I'm told
#Seahawks
top-brass, including owner Jody Allen, will attend the College Football Championship on Monday.
The Seahawks are said to be keenly interested in both Jim Harbaugh & Kalen DeBoer as candidates to replace Pete Carroll, should the team miss the playoffs.
Just so everyone is keeping score at home:
The refs didn’t call a single flag on the late and dirty hit to Geno Smith
Puka trips on his own accord and they call DPI on third and goal
10 years ago today, I watched our Seattle Seahawks defeat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 48 at my friend’s tiny apartment at our east coast college.
I was one of three Seahawks fans out of the 40+ people packed in the room as our team shocked the world.

This is a surprise - sources tell me the
#Seahawks
have made a call to the
#49ers
about Deebo Samuel's availability in a trade.
Seattle is looking to establish the run in 2022 and believe Samuel could be an unconventional answer at running back.
BREAKING:
#49ers
Head Coach Kyle Shanahan shared some harsh words for fans in his final press conference today.
“This whole ‘Bang Bang 9er gang’ chant… Where did that even originate? I never consented to this…”
Does Kyle Shanahan have a point?
The
#Broncos
are not done with their roster overhaul today. I’m told they are sending their newly acquired 2023 1st rounder for
#Seahawks
QB Drew Lock.
Denver now has their quarterback of the future while Seattle continues to stock up on draft capital.
A day after
@usopen
took shots at him,
#Seahawks
QB Drew Lock posted on instagram a photo of himself at a tennis court.
"All day hydration w/ the best water on and off the tennis court.
#TennisIsLife
"
A source close to the
#Seahawks
tells me the team is expected to bring former
#Cowboys
RB Ezekiel Elliot for a visit Friday.
Seattle was close to trading for him earlier this week and now could sign him at a very discounted price if the meeting goes well.
According to sources, the
#Saints
are finalizing a deal with the
#Seahawks
for the 9th pick in the draft. Seattle will receive picks 16, 19, and potentially their future starting QB. More details to come soon.
After failing to attract a high-profile coach to work with QB Russell Wilson, the
#Broncos
have now set their sights on inquiring a trade for
#Seahawks
HC Pete Carroll.
It's felt around the league this could happen quickly if Seattle is "blown away" by Denver's offer.
Former
#Seahawks
scouts tell me John Schneider had to trick Pete Carroll into believing Russell Wilson was 6 feet tall in order to draft him.
“John even made one of us draw on a roll of measuring tape as proof”.
“Pete was so mad, he never let John draft another QB again”.
I’m told Jamal Adams considered rejoining the
#Seahawks
but was offended by the team’s requirement he would permanently change his position to outside linebacker.
One league source tells me “He thinks he’s the best safety in the nation and won’t be Mike Macdonald’s blitz boy”
Billy, this player is named Michael Penix. He ran a 4.46 40 at his pro day and has the best arm coming out of college this year.
He should be a top 10 pick in the draft but he won't because the league is full of dummies.
It's fine to think the Seahawks can upgrade from Geno Smith at QB. There's probably at least 8-10 better players right now in the NFL.
But Geno's play isn't remotely a problem with the team right now. Anyone that has made hating Geno their personality needs professional help.
Mike Macdonald head coach.
Ryan Grubb offensive coordinator.
A british lad as our defensive coordinator.
John Schneider’s master class is in full swing
Pete Carroll's tenure as head coach of the Seahawks:
- 14 seasons
- Super Bowl XLVIII Champion
- Winning record in 11 of 14 seasons as head coach
- 137 wins & .606 win pct are both highest in Seahawks franchise history
- 10 playoff wins since 2010 (T-3rd in the NFL among head
Zay Flowers: WR1 on the Ravens
Jordan Addison: WR2 on the Vikings
JSN: WR3 on the Seahawks who are missing both offensive tackles
I can’t seem to figure out why JSN is off to a slow start compared to his draft peers 🧐
SCOOP:
#Seahawks
are set to explore hiring two head coach candidates to split offensive and defensive duties.
There are several candidates they are “extremely” interested in and want to hire talented minds on both sides of the ball.
I'm told Geno Smith is prepared to sign a 3 year extension with the
#Seahawks
... but only if QB Coach Dave Canales remains with the team.
Canales just had a successful interview to be the
#Buccaneers
OC and it's widely believed Smith will follow him to Tampa Bay.
Sources tell me the
#Seahawks
rejected a trade offer from the
#Commanders
, offering to send a 2nd round pick for Pete Carroll.
Commanders have now hired Dan Quinn as their new head coach and Seahawks keep Carroll in the building to guide Mike Macdonald for years to come.
I'm told the
#Seahawks
are currently between Chip Kelly and Eric Bieniemy for their vacant offensive coordinator position.
Seahawks are eager to settle on a candidate soon to finalize its staff & Geno Smith's fate before his contract fully guarantees on Feb 16th.
Some positive Bread Crumbs after today's loss:
- JSN looked like the WR we were promised today
- Jamal Adams and a healthy secondary looks great
- Lot of positive drives by the pass rush
- 49ers lost & Brock Purdy looks *bad* without CMC
Keep in mind: Multiple missed calls helped key the Seahawks’ overtime victory over the Rams in Week 18 last season that sent Seattle to the wild-card round and prevented the Lions from reaching the playoffs.
Former Seahawks LB Jordyn Brooks has agreed to terms with the Miami Dolphins on a 3-year, $30 million deal.

BREAKING:
#Seahawks
sign veteran QB Colin Kaepernick to their roster today.
“We needed a proven winner like Colin to show Drew Lock how it’s done” - Pete Carroll
I’m honestly glad to see John stick up for Jamal Adams. People have completely become prisoners of the moment and forgot how talented of a player he is.
John Schneider said on
@SeattleSports
that he's tired of the Jamal Adams narratives that he was a different player after getting paid. John seemingly also tired of critiques about the compensation it took to acquire Jamal.

Sources tell me
#Seahawks
are nearing a multi-year extension with QB Drew Lock, in hopes to avoid using the franchise tag and keep him in Seattle long term.
I'm being told the
#Panthers
are not done on the trade market. Once Mayfield clears his pending physical, the Panthers are expected to trade QB Sam Darnold to the
#Seahawks
for a conditional late round pick or a veteran player.
The
#Seahawks
Pro Shop today briefly had a page up for a Baker Mayfield jersey and has since been deleted. This comes after a Josina Anderson report about a trade for Mayfield being actively discussed between Seattle and Cleveland.

Instead joining the team on the sidelines, Adams was chose to "stay home", according to Pete Carroll.

After clearing up $3.2M in cap space today, the
#Seahawks
have made a deal with the
#Browns
to acquire QB Baker Mayfield. Seahawks are said to be taking on most, if not all, of Mayfield's contract in exchange for a 2024 7th round pick.
Sources close to the
#Seahawks
have informed me that owner Jody Allen has given the team the go-ahead to do "whatever it takes" to trade up to the
#2
overall pick in the
#NFLDraft2023
and select their quarterback of the future.
Seattle has long liked QB Sam Howell. Now, with Drew Lock signing with the Giants, Howell can compete with Geno Smith for the Seahawks starting QB job.
