Bob Condotta @bcondottaAsked if Seahawks could still take a QB despite signing Smith, Carroll says "that opportunity is absolutely there'' and notes again that drafting at 5 a lot different than drafting lower down.
Smith, who will turn 33 in October, just won Comeback Player of the Year honors after completing 69.8 percent of his passes for 30 touchdowns (11 interceptions) and 4,282 yards.
