The Facts:

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Still, negotiating a contract is the first step in creating some action for Marshall, who has already visited the Seahawks. Then, a trade could possibly be worked out between the two clubs. ... Meanwhile, as ESPN's Mike Sando notes, Carroll also pointed out that his offensive coordinator, Jeremy Bates, had a "great" relationship with Marshall in Denver. Seahawks assistants Jedd Fisch and Pat McPherson were also in Denver with Marshall. "Those guys all know him, so they give us unique insights, I think, to understanding how he could fit into the offense and what he could do in helping us," Carroll said. Per Sando, Carroll's comments affirm the Seahawks' continued interest in Marshall even though there's no urgency to acquire him this far out from draft day.
