After a disappointing 2021 season, the Seattle Seahawks have a handful of areas to address during the offseason. Before virtually any of that can get underway, however, the Seahawks will need to iron out the future of head coach Pete Carroll and star quarterback Russell Wilson. It seems they've managed to do just that, per ESPN's Chris Mortensen.
Mortensen reports that Carroll met with GM John Schneider and owner Jody Allen on Thursday:
Wilson has two years left on his contract, he’s expressed desire to finish in Seattle, he has a no trade clause but, of course, his name will be in play for everyone to discuss because that’s the new frontier, real or not.

Mortensen reports that the meeting with ownership was said to be a standard year-end meeting, and that Carroll's job security wasn't even a topic of discussion. It looks as if the Seahawks are going to retain their GM, head coach, and quarterback heading into the 2022 season in hopes of turning things around.
Additional reports suggest Wilson is interested in exploring his options, with various teams having been linked to him via trade. With several franchises searching for a new quarterback, Wilson would be a sought-after trade piece if made available. Based on the meeting with ownership, however, it seems that the Seahawks are keen on retaining Wilson, rather than trading him to another team.
Carroll has been the Seahawks' head coach for 12 years, having recorded a 193-119 record during his tenure with the team. The Seahawks won the Super Bowl under his tutelage in 2013 and enjoyed nine winning seasons with Carroll in charge.
As for Wilson, a hand injury limited him to just 14 games this season. On the year, Wilson threw 25 touchdown passes and just six interceptions, completing 64.8% of his pass attempts for 3,113 yards.
