Seahawks coach Pete Carroll doesn't see Seattle 'making a trade for anybody at all' despite need at QB
Russell Wilson is now a Denver Bronco, leaving the Seattle Seahawks' starting job at QB up for grabs. Coach Pete Carroll, however, doesn't see the team "making a trade for anybody at all."
"We're always competing," Carroll said Wednesday night in an interview with Sports Radio 950 KJR-AM. "I'm not saying anything you didn't think I was going to say, but fortunately that's always been the way we've operated, and it fits again. So we're looking. I don't see us making a trade for anybody at all. I don't see that happening. But we're certainly going to continue to be open to chances to help our club, and meanwhile we're just going to be battling and competing our tails off. There's always possibilities, so we keep open to that."

Using none of their nine draft picks to fill a quarterback position, Seattle's current options are Drew Lock, Geno Smith and Jacob Eason. Baker Mayfield's expected departure from the Cleveland Browns could also land him on that list.
When asked if he considers bringing in a free-agent, Carroll did not disclose any new information.
"There's no chance I'm going to tell you anything more than what I just told you, but I love you for trying," Carroll said, laughing. "Honestly, we're going to keep looking and seeing what's available, but only to help our club and try to make us better. If the case presents itself, we're going to be ready for it."
