Seahawks say they're in 'fantastic place' with Russell Wilson, didn't actively engage in trade talks

SEATTLE -- General manager John Schneider says that he never "actively negotiated" with any teams that called the Seattle Seahawks about a possible trade for Russell Wilson.

Coach Pete Carroll said the organization and Wilson are in a "fantastic place" and that the Seahawks were never going to trade their star quarterback.

Schneider and Carroll spoke publicly Wednesday for the first time since Wilson aired his frustrations with the organization during media interviews in February. Among Wilson's frustrations was all the hits he's taken over his nine-year career with Seattle.

"There was some stuff that was said that had to be dealt with and it has been," Carroll said.
