Kam Chancellor Will Play If Medically Cleared

May 30, 2018 12:10 PM

Kam Chancellor revealed he wants to continue his playing career if he's medically cleared.

Chancellor suffered a career-threatening neck injury last season.

"If my body says I can play, I'm playing," Chancellor said. "If my body says don't play, I'm not playing. I'll listen. I'm a very good listener."

John Schneider said before the draft that Chancellor was scheduled to have a scan in late June or early July.

Avril: Seahawks Questioned Pete Carroll After Super Bowl INT

May 29, 2018 8:49 AM

Cliff Avril said recently that some of his former Seattle Seahawks teammates "began questioning" Pete Carroll after the team's last-minute Super Bowl loss to the New England Patriots.

The Seahawks released Avril earlier this month.

He discussed the conclusion of Super Bowl XLIX during a podcast with NFL Network.

The Seahawks were closing in on a second consecutive Super Bowl victory when, trailing by four points, they advanced the ball to the Patriots' 1-yard line with 26 seconds remaining. Rather than run the ball with Marshawn Lynch, Carroll called for a pass from Russell Wilson, who was picked off by Malcolm Butler.

"I do think the team would have bought in more to what Coach Carroll was saying," Avril said, "instead of going the opposite way of, 'Hey, this is what we thought the foundation of the team was.' That's not what happened in that particular play.

"So I think guys started questioning him more, more so than actually following his lead if we would have won that Super Bowl."

Seahawks Want Rashaad Penny To Be Three-Down Back

May 7, 2018 8:30 AM

The Seattle Seahawks see first-round pick Rashaad Penny having a major role as a rookie.

"We're gonna work real hard with his pass protection and make sure that he's up to speed there," Pete Carroll said. "We'd like to see if we can make him available to us on all three downs. Kind of like we use Chris [Carson]."

Seattle focused on putting Penny in a variety of positions in and out of the backfield during the practice sessions and found the rookie "can do whatever we need to do in the throwing game."
