Seattle Seahawks coach Pete Carroll had some interesting things to share in his normal Monday radio appearance on ESPN. For one thing, Carroll said the team has engaged in “preliminary” talks with quarterback Geno Smith on a new contract.
Securing Smith is an important first step for this offseason, but in order to catch up with their NFC West super-rivals they’re going to need some serious upgrades on the other side of the ball. In Saturday’s Wild Card loss to the San Francisco 49ers it became clear that there’s a very wide gap between Seattle and their rivals, who beat them convincingly for the third time this season.
