The Seahawks showed interest in Antonio Brown before the receiver signed with the Patriots. Brown is a free agent again White Drew Bledsoe Jerseys , 13 days later.So do the Seahawks, who spoke with Brown after the Raiders cut him, have interest in the Pro Bowler this time around?Coach Pete Carroll said no without using the word. “We’re pretty well set right now,” Carroll said Friday, via Gregg Bell of the . “We kind of know where we’re going with that.”Carroll admitted 11 days ago that the Seahawks had “checked into” Brown Drew Bledsoe Jerseys 2019 , saying “Why wouldn’t you, you know? He’s a great player.”Since the Seahawks’ initial interest, Brown was sued for sexual assault and rape and attempted to intimidate a second accuser who came forward earlier this week in comments to SI.com. The Seahawks’ due diligence on Brown also came before they had seen rookie D.K. Metcalf in a regular-season game. Metcalf has seven catches for 150 yards and a touchdown in two games.Carroll’s reaction was similar to those of Sean Payton and Sean McVay, who were asked about their interest in Brown.“Right now, where we are . . .I like our depth at that position White Steve Grogan Jerseys ,” Payton said, via Dianna Russini of ESPN. “I haven’t paid much attention. I’m focused on the guys here.”McVay initially expressed surprise at his press conference when told of Brown’s release and then essentially repeated what Carroll and Payton said. “You always look into things,” McVay said, via quotes distributed by the team. “We evaluate, but with the situation we have specific to the receiver position Steve Grogan Jerseys 2019 , we couldn’t be happier with the guys that we do have.” Last year, the horse named Gronkowski missed the Kentucky Derby. This year, his human counterpart also didn’t make it.Via Mike Jurecki of AZCardinals.com, former Patriots tight end Rob Gronkowski skipped the Kentucky Derby and opted to celebrate his football retirement with family and close friends in Las Vegas.Given that Gronk’s now-former quarterback, Tom Brady White Kevin Faulk Jerseys , basically treats the Derby as basically an annual gathering of his closest football friends, it’s a little odd that Gronkowski opted not to attend.But everything right now is a little odd about Gronk. He’s dabbling in acting and otherwise moving on from football, but he’s also hinting that maybe he isn’t done. And some think that perhaps he’ll return to football for another playoff run in 2019.Whether orchestrated or not, it keeps Gronkowski relevant at a time when, like almost every other player not named Brett Favre who retires at the end of a given season Kevin Faulk Jerseys 2019 , the player would be gone and — until eligible for the Hall of Fame or hired as a broadcaster — largely forgotten.
