Pete Carroll sought out Jimmy Graham following reports he was included in trade discussions.

"When I heard that, too, I went straight to Jimmy, I ran to him to make sure that it wasn't bothering him," Carroll said in his Monday morning radio show on 710 ESPN Seattle. "He was aware of it, in my observation. So we just talked about it eye to eye, the reality and the truth of it and that there was nothing there and somebody just made that up. By the time we got to game time, I checked back in with him a couple times just to make sure he was OK, because we need his spirit going in the right direction. He came around fine. He was fine. But he was -- I don't know, you'd have to ask him. I think it bothered him."

Graham is making $7.9 million this season, which would be a lot of money for a new team to take on. 

Graham has four touchdowns over the past three games after catching two on Sunday.
