During an interview Friday, Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll downplayed the trade-rumor drama that surrounded quarterback Russell Wilson earlier this offseason.
Appearing on The Rich Eisen Show (h/t Pro Football Talk's Charean Williams), Carroll referred to the trade rumors as "old news" and seemed ready to move on from them:
"It seems like really old news to talk about this because it's been such a long time. The little bit he said carried so much air time that it became bigger than life. Throughout the whole process, Russell, we've always been connected.
