Seattle Seahawks HC Pete Carroll Drops the Curtain On Veteran QB Hire, Hopes’ Over For Baker Mayfield?

Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll seems to be ready to stick with what he has got in the quarterback room in 2022. Carroll believes that the loss of superstar QB Russell Wilson to the Broncos will not require any replacement. While the trade involved QB Drew Lock as a replacement, the fans felt the team would be searching for their veteran starting QB this offseason.

There have been several speculations surrounding out-of-favor Browns QB Baker Mayfield being the rightful heir post the Russell Wilson era in Seattle. But Carroll seems to be playing down the possibility of any such moves in the coming weeks.

While giving his diplomatic responses to questions he states that they will always remain competitive.

During his interview with Sports Radio 93.3 KJR-FM in Seattle, Carroll states, “I don’t see us making a trade for anybody at all. I don’t see that happening. But we’re certainly going to continue to be open to chances to help our club, and meanwhile, we’re just going to be battling and competing our tails off. There are always possibilities, so we keep open to that.”

Pete Carroll did an excellent job of plausible deniability

The Seahawks HC knows that organizations aren’t allowed to publicly comment on potential interest in players on other teams. He seems to be in no hurry to break that rule. While Carroll remains silent about the Browns’ QB, Mayfield was open in admitting that Seattle will be an ideal landing spot.

The disgruntled Browns QB will be making nearly $19 million this season in guaranteed money. The Seahawks will be hoping the Browns release him soon so that he can be signed on their fresh terms.

While Mayfield had a blip last season and suffered injuries, the Seahawks will be ready to step in to sign him.

Even Carroll admits that the team will move for any player they consider to be an improvement over their current players. The Seahawks fans will be hoping that they can sign the former No.1 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. The 2022 NFL campaign will be a season with fresh faces for the fans to cheer.
