The Jets had interest in Bruce Irvin, who the Seahawks drafted with the 15th overall selection, one pick ahead of New York. Many analysts felt Seattle reached on the West Virginia defender. After the Seahawks took Irvin, they received a good-natured call from the Jets cursing them out for taking the player they wanted. One general manager called Irvin the "hottest player in the draft."

The Seahawks drafted Russell Wilson with the 75th overall pick in last week's NFL Draft, the highest they have taken a quarterback since Rick Mirer went second overall in 1993. A two-sport athlete at North Carolina State, Wilson was drafted by the Rockies in 2010. The following fall, he returned to North Carolina State where he was a junior captain in football. He passed for 3,563 yards and 28 touchdowns, but the following spring decided he would give a full season to baseball, reporting for spring training. North Carolina State released him from scholarship in April, but by the summer, Wilson had decided he would come back to play football. "I realized that football is what I wanted to do for the rest of my life," Wilson said. "I experimented with the baseball thing. I knew that there's nothing better than getting ready for a football game, and playing in front of national audience."

The Eagles traded up on Thursday night, acquiring the 12th overall pick from the Seahawks in order to select Mississippi State defensive tackle Fletcher Cox. Seattle received Philadelphia's No. 15 pick as well as their fourth- and sixth-round picks (Nos. 114 and 172 overall).

The Patriots have inquired with the Seahawks to see what it would take to acquire the twelfth overall pick, sources with direct knowledge of the situation said. New England owns the 27th and 31st picks in the first round.

The Seahawks acquired Matt Flynn to compete with Tarvaris Jackson at quarterback, but that doesn't mean they'll pass on adding another in next week's draft. Seattle, which holds the 12th overall pick, has interest in Texas A&M product Ryan Tannehill. "He's a really good player and he's got a great upside," general manager John Schneider said. "We would definitely consider him (at No. 12). Just because we've done these things, the guys know -- it's no disrespect to Tarvaris, or Matt or Josh (Portis) at all." With that said, Seattle doesn't expect Tannehill to be available when they pick. "It's fun to talk about, but I mean (Tannehill's) not going to be there," Schneider said. "You know, I think he's going to get drafted pretty high."

The Seahawks have re-signed linebacker Leroy Hill and special teams standout Matt McCoy. Hill is just one of two remaining players from Seattle's NFC championship team in 2005. The other is cornerback Marcus Trufant, who was released earlier in the offseason only to re-sign on Monday also on a one-year deal.

The Seahawks have agreed to terms on a one-year deal with Marcus Trufant. The cornerback's time in Seattle appeared over when he was released by the team with two years left on his contract on March 7. Trufant was originally scheduled to make $7.2 and $8.8 million in base salary the next two years.

The Seahawks have agreed to terms with linebacker Barrett Ruud, cornerback Roy Lewis and guard Deuce Lutui on one-year deals. Ruud played nine games for the Titans last season before being placed on injured reserve with a groin injury.
