Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Carroll had one season left on his five-year, $35 million contract. Carroll, along with general manager John Schneider, have managed to turn around the fortunes of the franchise in a short period. In his first season with the franchise, Carroll led the 'Hawks to an NFC West title despite a 7-9 record. In just his fourth season, the Seahawks won their first Super Bowl in franchise history defeating the Denver Broncos 43-8 in February. Along the way, they've built a fantasy football-friendly offense that appears to be primed for solid production if all the key components remain healthy.
