The Seattle Seahawks always have their feelers on, looking for possible additions to the roster, no matter the trouble the player might have had with his former team.
Seattle signed Josh Gordon last season, and the wide receiver appeared in five games before he was suspended indefinitely for violations of the substance abuse and performance-enhancing drugs policies. The Seahawks would likely welcome him back this year should he be reinstated.
But another wide receiver of interest has now crossed the Seahawks’ radar . . . Antonio Brown, who was just levied with an eight-game suspension to start the season for violating the league’s personal conduct policy. Regardless, Seattle merits him worth taking a look.
“What I’d say to you is what we always say because it’s what we always do and who we are,” coach Pete Carroll told reporters via Zoom on Monday. “John [Schneider] is competing at every turn. There’s never been a process, unless we just missed it, that we weren’t involved with to understand what the chances were of helping our club. He’s all over it. He understands what’s going on right now, as much as you can. It’s a very complex situation. We just need to see where it fits somewhere down the road. That’s all I got for you.”
With both wide receivers’ suspensions pending, Seattle has plenty of time to wait and see before signing either player to the roster.
