May 18, 2014 6:29 AM

The Seahawks have signed Braylon Edwards to a one-year deal. Seattle expects Edwards to compete for the role of No. 2 wide receiver in training camp. "I like what they've got going on out here. Just walking and talking to these guys when I came on an interview last year it's a high-positive organization. There is a lot of positivity and you can see the energy these guys have. These guys are happy to come out here and play for coach (Pete) Carroll and their position coaches and it seems like they have the thing moving in the right direction."

Carroll 'Concerned, Disappointed' About Lynch

Nov 6, 2014 12:16 PM

Pete Carroll discussed Marshawn Lynch on Saturday. The Seahawks running back could face discipline from the NFL following his arrest for driving under the influence this offseason. "This is something we really can't talk about. Marshawn and I have been on the topic since the first day of it," Carroll said. "We've had very good communication about it. There is a process going on that we can't even really talk about it. But I'm pleased the way he has worked with us so we understand what is going on. This is a process that really has to take a life of its own and we have to follow that through." Carroll admitted that he was disappointed in Lynch, who pleaded not guilty earlier this week to charges of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. "Always concerned and disappointed when anybody gets in any kind of trouble of any kind and didn't know the facts, didn't know anything about it," the coach said of his initial reaction. "We talked our way through it, understand it and I was pleased the way we were able to interact so we could be on top of it. We'll make it through."

Chris Clemons, Seahawks Agree To Multi-Year Deal

May 18, 2014 12:00 AM

Chris Clemons and the Seahawks have agreed upon a multi-year agreement, according to sources. Clemons' decision to skip a mandatory minicamp will not cost him $1 million in 2012 salary. Clemons had been scheduled to make $4 million this season, but it decreased to $3 million after skipping camp due to the language of his contract with the Eagles in 2008. Clemons has 11 sacks in each of the Seahawks’ past two seasons as one of the better pass-rushing defensive ends in the NFC.

Tarvaris Jackson feels comfortable entering his second season with the Seahawks. The quarterback was forever on shaky ground with the Vikings. "It just feels a lot different in Seattle," Jackson told KSTP-AM in St. Paul. "I feel like I'm welcome there. It was like home. It's a fresh start for me.
