Seahawks 2021 pre-draft checkup: Yay! to retaining Chris Carson

Part of me wants to say that the Seattle Seahawks’ ability to retain Chris Carson was the team’s biggest offseason success thus far.

Retaining Carson is bigger than the phenomenal release-and-resign move they made with Carlos Dunlap.

Hanging onto Carson is bigger than signing Tyler Lockett to an extension.

Keeping Carson is bigger than the trade for Gabe Johnson and the follow-up move of securing his services for 3 years (instead of 2) on a relatively “team-friendly” contract.

Bringing back Carson is even bigger than poaching Ahkello Witherspoon and Kerry Hyder from the Niners AND picking up Gerald Everett from the Rams - even if all 3 moves were counted as one.
