The Seattle Seahawks have still not signed a replacement for the quarterback after the departure of Russell Wilson. Now head coach Pete Carroll is speaking out on the issue and expressing satisfaction.

Munich – After the trade of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, the Seattle Seahawks were long considered the landing spot for a new quarterback. Be it via trade or in the NFL Draft. But nothing has happened so far.

The talent draft is over, but Head Coach Pete Carroll’s team has not signed a new playmaker. Nor has the franchise brought in an experienced signal caller, although the team was repeatedly linked to Baker Mayfield, for example.

Three weeks before the start of OTAs, Geno Smith, Drew Lock and Jacob Eason are currently in the squad as the quarterback trio. The former two are in contention for the starter’s job – unless the Seahawks find another more enticing option.

Seahawks don’t have a Wilson replacement yet

“We’re always competing. That’s the one thing we know here. We’re always looking at everything that’s possible,” Carroll told “NFL Network” in regards to the quarterback situation

And continued, “Right now, I’m really excited to see these guys for the first time and we’ll see what happens in the near future. We are always competing. We’re always looking. “

When asked if the search for a new playmaker could soon turn into a commitment, he said, “Nothing is going to change anytime soon. We are very happy with the guys we have and we will see what happens. You never know what will happen in the future. We are always looking. “

Metcalf to stay in Seattle

On the subject of Mayfield, NFL insider Ian Rapoport last reported that the Seahawks’ interest was “lukewarm at best.” The reason: Mayfield is said not to fit the system and culture in Seattle.

DK Metcalf, on the other hand, is a great fit for the Seahawks. There have been repeated rumours about the receiver’s departure. But the Seahawks are determined to extend his contract early.

“He’s really important to us,” Carroll told “The Athletic”: “We’ll be discussing that with John in the coming weeks after the draft. We communicate really well and are on good terms with DK moving forward. Hopefully it will all work out. We don’t have any plans for him to go anywhere. We want him to stay with us.”

The second-round pick is entering his final year of his rookie contract. In 52 appearances, he collected 32 touchdowns and racked up 3485 receiving yards.
