Back to the drawing board for Baker Mayfield and Cleveland Browns.
Seahawks coach Pete Carroll made his weekly radio appearance on KJR 910 AM in Seattle to discuss a multitude of topics, so naturally, he asked about the quarterback situation following the trade of Russell Wilson to the Broncos in March and whether or not the Seahawks were looking to add a veteran.
“I don’t see us making a trade for anybody at all. I don’t see that happening,” Carroll said.
The question comes amid the prospect of Browns quarterback Baker Mayfield finding a new home after talks between Cleveland and the Panthers fell through on the weekend of the NFL draft.
The disgruntled Mayfield still has not found a new home, and there are questions about what will happen with him moving forward if the Browns are unable to find a trade partner before training camp later this summer.
Mayfield is set to make a guaranteed $19 million this season, which is believed to be the main factor as to why he has not been moved.

The Seahawks did not draft a quarterback with any of their nine picks.
After his comment about not trading for a veteran quarterback, Carroll was asked about the possibility of adding one who could become a free agent.
“There’s no chance I’m going to tell you anything more than what I just told you, but I love you for trying,” Carroll said, laughing. “Honestly, we’re going to keep looking and seeing what’s available, but only to help our club and try to make us better. If the case presents itself, we’re going to be ready for it.”
The Seahawks appear ready to move forward in a new era without their Super Bowl-winning quarterback. The team acquired former second-round pick Drew Lock in the trade for Wilson and have veteran Geno Smith on the roster as well.
