The Seattle Seahawks and Baltimore Ravens have held internal discussions about the possibility of signing Antonio Brown.

Brown remains a free agent this offseason. The New England Patriots released Brown after Week 2 during the 2019 season.

Brown's status with the NFL is uncertain amid multiple sexual assault allegations.

There is at least one team with interest in signing Colin Kaepernick, according to Pete Carroll. 

Carroll said he received a call from an undisclosed team on Thursday asking about Kaepernick.

Kaepernick has remained a free agent since 2017.

Pete Carroll said he regrets the decision from the Seattle Seahawks in 2017 not to sign Colin Kaepernick. Carroll also denied that a meeting in 2018 with Kaepernick was canceled due to the franchise's uncertainty about whether he planned to continue protesting during the national anthem.

Kaepernick visited the Seahawks in the spring of 2017 after opting out of his contract with the San Francisco 49ers, making him a free agent.

Carroll said the Seahawks viewed Kaepernick as a starter still and he was confident he would sign elsewhere.

Kaepernick has yet to be signed since becoming a free agent in 2017.

Carroll didn't rule out the possibility of Seattle signing Kaepernick, but he said he likes Geno Smith as the backup behind Russell Wilson.

The Seattle Seahawks have hired Alonzo Highsmith as a full-time member of their scouting department.

Highsmith spent 19 seasons in the Green Bay Packers' front office, where he worked with Seattle general manager John Schneider.

He played running back at Miami and spent six seasons in the NFL after being chosen third overall in 1987.

Pete Carroll said "we owe a tremendous amount" to Colin Kaepernick for taking a stand against police brutality and racial oppression in 2016.

"I think that there was a moment in time that a young man captured. He took a stand on something, figuratively took a knee, but he stood up for something he believed in -- and what an extraordinary moment it was that he was willing to take," Carroll said.

"... But what happened from the process is it elevated awareness from people that just took everything away from what the statement was all about, and it just got tugged and pulled and ripped apart.

"And the whole mission of what the statement was, such a beautiful ... it's still the statement that we're making right today. We're not protecting our people. We're not looking after one another. We're not making the right choices. We're not following the right process to bring people to justice when actions are taken. So I think it was a big sacrifice in the sense that a young man makes, but those are the courageous moments that some guys take.

"And we owe a tremendous amount to him for sure."

The Seattle Seahawks had interest in signing Kaepernick two years ago, but the visit was called after he declined to inform the team whether he planned to stop kneeling for the anthem.
