    Carroll under contract till 2019 and Schneider under contract till 2020.

    Hopefully a good few years more to look forward to.
    Methinks Pete Carroll is the best head coach in the NFL. Now looking forward to a grand 2016 season.

    I don't think it was ever really in doubt that Pete would re-sign, especially once Schneider was on board. If they can just figure out a way to keep Bennett happy, this will have been a very successful Summer. Both he and Kam enter the market after next season and I would say the chances of retaining either will be low.

    Yeah but I'd hope Schneider does budge on at least Bennett. Bennett will play well into his 30s, excels at two positions and really seems to be a leader off the field.

    Pete Carroll at age 64 is the oldest NFL active head coach.

    Seahawks sign 6-time probowl RG Jahri Evans, after he refused a paycut in NO.

    What are his contract details. Had about 7 million free cap before the signing

    It's a one year deal. Can't find the exact figure but it won't be cheap. He was refusing a pay cut and was one of the top paid RG's in the league.

    Rawls officially taken off PUP List and we finally sign an O Guard that will protect Wilson in Jahri Evans. Good weekend!

    4.30pm ET is 9.30pm our time (1.30pm Seattle time).
    Its the only Seahawks pre season game on at a watchable hour.

    Positive thing about the scheduling of games, first 5 games are all on Sunday night with the latest starting at 9:25pm Irish time. Negative part is that after those 5 games only 3 games are on before 1:30am Irish time.

    Anyone see the game? Apparently Michael looked pretty solid. Is there any hope for Collins?

    Michael was very good throughout the entire game. Doesn't look like a redzone threat but he's a beast a picking up 1st downs. Wilson and Baldwin looked brilliant together too!

    Vikings in Seattle tonight, should be somewhat warmer than the last time we met.

    Won't be staying up but hope to see soon positive highlights in the morning.

    Havent had a chance to see any highlights yet. Report seemed to show offense was a mess, Wilson got sacked 4 times in the first half and then the backups came in.

    Have a full week before the Cowboys come to Seattle. Needs a massive uplift in performance by the sounds of it.

    3 weeks till the Dolphins arrive for week 1, was hoping to see some o-line improvement this year.

    We seem to have been using Boykin a lot, presumably because we all know what Wilson brings to the party. But I presume Wilson will play most of the remaining matches because he isn't up to speed yet.

    Can absolutely see why. Two young QBs fighting for the backup spot who only arrived this summer. Boykin is comfortably winning it from what I've seen anyway.

    They still need Wilson to get a lot of gametime. He was far from sharp, according to the reports. Boykin seems useful though.

    Yeah I'd say 2/4 sacks were him taking too long to get the ball away.

    One the o line were overrun by a blitz.

    One was a missed tackle.
