Ryan Clark Visits Seahawks

Oct 12, 2014 6:54 PM

The Seattle Seahawks hosted Ryan Clark for a visit on Friday, but he left without a deal.

Clark has also drawn interest from the New York Jets and Baltimore Ravens.

Clark may be an odd fit for the Seahawks considering how infrequently Chris Maragos played last season behind Earl Thomas and Kam Chancellor.

49ers, Seahawks, Jets Previously Pursued DeSean Jackson

Oct 18, 2014 1:09 AM

The San Francisco 49ers, Seattle Seahawks and New York Jets expressed interest in DeSean Jackson when the Philadelphia Eagles attempted to trade him before his release. Those teams could be interested in Jackson as a free agent.

The New England Patriots and Oakland Raiders could also be interested in Jackson.

Jackson is one of the NFL's most talented playmakers at wide receiver, so it will be interesting to gauge his market in light of reports of his off-field issues.

Carroll: We Need To Recapture Work Ethic, Nothing Else Really Matters

Oct 21, 2014 6:52 PM

Pete Carroll wants to make sure the Seattle Seahawks don't let up after winning the Super Bowl.

“We set a direction on having the greatest offseason of our lives, individually,” Carroll said. “That doesn’t mean you cant go out and have fun and live the life. You can work out and still be on the Tonight Show. The most important thing that will happen is if we can recapture the work ethic that made us what we are. Nothing else really matters.

“If a guy’s not having the best offseason of his life, he’s going to get beat out, I think. That’s kind of the way we roll.”
