Several teams are willing to give Brian Banks a chance to fulfill his dream of playing pro football. Banks, who last week was exonerated of a rape conviction that put him in prison for five years, claims he'll work out with the Seahawks on June 7. The Redskins, Chiefs and Dolphins also have called to talk to him about a tryout. "I'll make 'em happy," Banks said. "After all I've been through these last 10 years, I can still do some things that will impress you."

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is a fan of HBO's "Hard Knocks," but he doesn't want his team to appear on the show. Seattle was approached by the network about appearing on the show, but Carroll said on the NFL Network that they declined. "That's just not going to suit what we're trying to get done here," Carroll said. "I think it's a great show. I love watching it. I loved Rex [Ryan], and when the Bengals - I love those kinds of shows. I look forward to seeing it. But I just don't want to put that in the middle of our process. We're trying to win football games and hopefully we can entertain that way, not on the show. That's not our style."

The Seahawks are giving three quarterbacks a chance to win their starting job this offseason. Seattle has veteran Tarvaris Jackson, free agent signee Matt Flynn and rookie Russell Wilson. The three quarterbacks split reps at Seattle's OTAs this week.

Kellen Winslow is excited to join the Seahawks and eager to make an impact. Seattle hopes Winslow can help boost the production at the tight end position. "I fit in with this offense real well," Winslow said. "Zach (Miller) and I will be -- it'll be a lot of mismatches that they'll have to cover and we've got some talent here, so I'm excited." Winslow was acquired in a trade with Tampa Bay for a conditional pick in next year's draft.

The Buccaneers traded tight end Kellen Winslow to the Seahawks for a draft pick on Monday night and signed former Colts star Dallas Clark to replace him. Earlier in the day, Winslow told SiriusXM radio that first-year coach Greg Schiano was "kind of upset" that Winslow has not been working out with the team during the offseason. "That's kind of shocking, but that's what it is," Winslow said, adding that Schiano told him the coach "would help me out with a trade."

At 5-foot-11, Seahawks rookie quarterback Russell Wilson was knocked for his size leading up to last month's NFL Draft. Quarterbacks under six feet tall don't usually last in the NFL, but his promising 72.8 completion percentage as a senior at Wisconsin was alluring. Wilson wasn't too surprised when Seattle drafted him in the third round. "No, I wasn't surprised at all," Wilson told WTSO-AM. "I'd talked to several teams and they thought I could go in the second or third round, and talent-wise, I had all the talent in the world and just, the only knock on me was my height." "Obviously, if you've seen, throughout my career and playing at the University of Wisconsin, being behind those big offensive linemen, the height's not a factor. And that's just what I had to show teams, and I put it on tape. And that's what I kept telling teams: 'Just watch the tape and watch the way I play, I have a high, quick release.' And when teams measured my arms and my hands and everything, they were like, 'Man, this kid's got arms of a 6-5 quarterback.'"

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll says that rookie quarterback Russell Wilson will compete in training camp for the starting job with Matt Flynn and Tarvaris Jackson. Carroll made his decision after watching Wilson compete at Seattle's just completed three-day rookie minicamp. "He's showed us enough," Carroll said. "He's in the competition. And that is going to tax us, as you know. It was already going to be taxing with two. But he's shown us enough that we need to see where he fits in with these guys."

There is a good chance that Seahawks first-round pick James Carpenter will not play in 2012 because his knee was torn up so severely last season. Seattle has protected themselves at the right tackle position by re-signing Breno Giacomini and Paul McQuistan and adding free agent Frank Omiyale.

The Seahawks and first-round draft choice Bruce Irvin have agreed to terms on a four-year deal. The agreement will include a team option for a fifth year. Irvin, chosen fifteenth overall from West Virginia, becomes the first 2012 first-round choice to reach agreement.
