Earl Thomas was frustrated he had to undergo an HGH test on Thursday.

Thomas was wearing a bandage on his right arm during media access after submitting to a blood draw.

"Yesterday I said my shoulder was a 10 ... Wake up the next morning and I have a blood test for HGH .. League office distraction," wrote Thomas on Twitter.

Another Seattle Seahawks' player told ESPN that many players are mad about it.

"We are being treated like criminals, tested like people on parole," the player said.

The carousel for NFL coordinators is far quicker than that of head coaches.

Darrell Bevell and Josh McDaniels, offensive coordinators for the Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots, are two of the longest tenured in the NFL.

Bevell has been with the Seahawks for four seasons, making him the second-longest-tenured coordinator in the NFC behind Pete Carmichael of the New Orleans Saints.

McDaniels and Todd Haley have been with their teams for three seasons, making them the longest-tenured offensive coordinators in the AFC.

Every other NFL team has hired at least one new offensive coordinator within the past two offseasons.

The Seattle Seahawks don't regret trading Percy Harvin to the New York Jets in the middle of the 2014 regular season.

"Percy is a unique player, so you have to use him in a unique fashion," Seahawks general manager John Schneider said during Media Day on Tuesday. "So, we kind of just got back to playing more basic: Run the ball and hammer it out, read- option. Getting back to a little bit more up field instead of horizontal."

Harvin's sometimes rocky relationship with a few teammates came to light in the wake of the trade, but Schneider admitted it wasn't easy to part ways with such an explosive talent.

"It was difficult, but we had talked to ownership about it," Schneider said. "When you have support of the ownership, it makes it that much easier. So, he knew there were several reasons why it may not work out. As long as we're communicating with ownership in that regard and explaining why it didn't work out, it's much easier to do than waking up in the morning and saying, 'Hey, we're going to do this.'"

Bill Belichick gave big praise to Pete Carroll when asked about his relationship with his Super Bowl counterpart.

"Good. Great," Belichick said. "Not a coach in the NFL I respect more than Pete Carroll. He's a tremendous coach. He and I have kind of come up together in roughly the same era. We've both been defensive coordinators, we've both been head coaches.

"I have a ton of respect for what Pete does as a coach, how good of a fundamental teacher he is, the way his teams play. I've studied him from afar -- we've never worked together. Studied Pete from afar over a long period of time. I've learned a lot from what he does, and indirectly, I think he's made me a better coach. I have all the respect in the world for Pete and his staff."

Marshawn Lynch spent five minutes answering questions from the media on Tuesday.

"I'm here so I won't get fined," said Lynch after every question.

Lynch famously does not enjoy speaking to the media and has been fined in the past for refusing to comply with NFL rules.

“I don’t think he’s being misunderstood,” Pete Carroll said. “I think people are starting to learn about who he is and what he’s all about. He’s a treasure.”

Carroll works hard in celebrating the uniqueness of the personalities on his team.

“I’ll say this, and let me say it again,” Carroll said Monday, when asked how he handles Lynch. “We still celebrate the uniqueness of our players. We celebrate the way that they see the world as they fit in with our football team.”

Richard Sherman believes Roger Goodell should be forced to speak weekly to the media as all NFL players are required to as well.

“Every one of the NFL’s personnel should be obligated to speak weekly,” Sherman said.

Sherman enjoys speaking with the media, but he was defending Marshawn Lynch, who attempts to avoid the media.

Marshawn Lynch has been fined $20,000 for the obsene gesture he made while scoring a touchdown in the NFC Championship Game.

Lynch turned his back to the official on the goalline and grabbed his crotch.

The NFL is also considering fining Lynch "significantly more" than the $50,000 it has each of the past two seasons for not speaking to the media. Lynch declined to address the media postgame on Sunday.

Lynch is required to speak to the media on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday during Super Bowl week.

An MRI revealed that Richard Sherman only suffered a sprained elbow with his arm injury during the NFC Championship Game.

Sherman played much of the second half Sunday favoring his left arm after colliding with teammate Kam Chancellor at the end of a James Starks run.

Sherman told NFL Media's Steve Wyche on Sunday night that he will play against the New England Patriots despite the injury.

Earl Thomas suffered a dislocated shoulder in the Seattle Seahawks' win over the Green Bay Packers on Sunday.

Thomas is fully expected to play in the Super Bowl.

"Don't even waste any time on the story," said a source.

The Atlanta Falcons have privately told people that their plan is to hire Dan Quinn as head coach.

Quinn is defensive coordinator of the Seattle Seahawks.

The Falcons will hire Kyle Shanahan as offensive coordinator.

Kris Richard is a candidate to replace Quinn as defensive coordinator with the Seahawks.
