Seahawks Reach Agreement With Coach Carroll

By ESPN

The Seattle Seahawks have reached an agreement with head coach Pete Carroll on a contract extension, the team announced.

Sources told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter that the extension will run through 2019.

Carroll's deal comes on the heels of an extension for Seattle general manager John Schneider. Schneider's new deal is for five years and is expected to make him among the highest-paid GMs in the NFL, a source told ESPN's John Clayton.

Carroll's and Schneider's contracts had been set to expire at the end of the upcoming NFL season.

At 64, Carroll is the league's oldest head coach, but Seattle had no hesitation about extending him through 2019.

Brown Hopeful Steelers Will Deal

Despite being one of the best bargains in the league, Pittsburgh Steelers wide receiver Antonio Brown will report to training camp Thursday, hopeful and confident his contract will be addressed before the start of the regular season, sources familiar with the situation told ESPN.

Having Brown in training camp will be one less headache for a Steelers team that already has its running back Le'Veon Bell facing a four-game suspension and its wide receiver Martavis Bryant serving a one-year suspension.

But at some point, Pittsburgh likely will be asked to consider options to compensate Brown like one of the top receivers in the game that he has proven to be, per a source.

Brown, coming off a 136-catch season when he made $1 million in base salary, is scheduled to make $6.25 million in base salary this season. It is a figure below some of the league's top wide receivers, and personnel executives have suspected that Pittsburgh could be asked to address the situation this summer.

Cowboy's Gregory Facing Longer Suspension

Dallas Cowboys defensive end Randy Gregory is facing a longer suspension due to another violation of the NFL's substance-abuse policy, according to multiple sources.

Already handed a four-game suspension earlier in the offseason, Gregory would miss the first 10 games for at least his fourth misstep under the substance-abuse policy. It is not clear if Gregory failed another test or missed a test.

According to the policy rules, a missed test is treated the same as a failed test.

Gregory's representatives are still working on the appeal of his potential 10-game suspension and he has entered an undisclosed treatment facility and is not expected to report to training camp this week with the team, a league source told ESPN's Ed Werder. Whether he will participate at all is uncertain.

Cowboys coach Jason Garrett on Tuesday declined comment when asked about Gregory.

At last year's NFL scouting combine, Gregory tested positive for marijuana, which put him in the league's drug program. Considered a first-round prospect out of Nebraska, he fell to the second round, where the Cowboys selected him with the 60th overall pick.
