Chicago and Bears quarterback Caleb Williams “is appealing” to Carroll, per Schefter. Carroll is reportedly eyeing a return to the NFL after parting ways with the Seahawks in January. He started discussing a return in recent weeks and has not spoken with any teams yet but is open to doing so.

After a year away from the NFL, former Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll is ready to get back on an NFL sideline, and he has his eye on a specific sideline. There are currently three jobs that will be interviewing candidates: the Bears, Jets, and Saints. According to ESPN’s Adam Schefter, it’s the job in Chicago that Carroll has his eyes on.

With Week 16 in the books, the NFL clarified what the playoff picture looks like heading into the holidays. Here is the Seahawks' path.

The Seattle Seahawks may face insurmountable obstacles on their narrow path to the playoffs. Their only hope of reaching the postseason is to win the NFC West, and they’re a game behind the Los Angeles Rams after Sunday's 27-24 loss to the Minnesota Vikings.

With a one-game lead in the NFC West, the Los Angeles Rams are in complete control of their playoff fate. If they win their last two games, they clinch the division and punch their ticket to the postseason.
