Word is, some veteran players think Pete Carroll's ways with the Seahawks have gotten stale.
The sources? The two big stars the team just got rid of.
Michael Bennett, the Pro Bowl defensive end the Seahawks traded to Philadelphia last month, told Sports Illustrated's Greg Bishop "he read books during team meetings last year because he’d heard Carroll say the same thing over and over for seven years."
Bishop, who has Seattle roots, related that to KIRO-AM radio on Tuesday.
Bishop's description of what Bennett told him jibes with what Sherman said after the Seahawks waived him in March, and over the past year.
