The Seattle Seahawks made a notable move earlier in the week when they declined to pick up linebacker Jordyn Brooks’ fifth year option. By doing so, they have made the upcoming 2023 season a contract year for the young Texas Tech alum, all while coming off an ACL injury suffered late last year.
Normally, not picking up the fifth year option for a first round pick might signal a team’s intentions of moving off the player. But if you ask Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll, this does not seem to be the situation. When asked about Brooks, Carroll was his usual optimistic self when discussing Brooks’ future in the Emerald City.
