Matt Calkins: Seahawks OTAs begin with a new vibe, and new leaders

RENTON, Wash. — Pete Carroll said he never would have even thought about it if it hadn't been brought up, but it's hard not to notice. The question posed to the Seahawks coach was in regard to Monday being the first organized team activity (OTA) since Seattle's Super Bowl win in which no players from that championship squad were present.

Russell Wilson? A Denver Bronco now. Bobby Wagner? A Los Angeles Ram. None of the franchise's ring bearers could be found on the field at the VMAC. That's gotta feel a little weird, no?

Not so much, Carroll said. That wasn't on his mind — even if it might be for Seahawks fans across the state. It's a new year. It's a new challenge. It's a new energy.
