And now for Wednesday's reminder that 2010 is a strange time to live in.

Pete Carroll has started to tweet links to songs in an effort to give fans hints about his draft picks. "Try 2 figure it out!" Caroll writes.

Some of the selections so far include, "Jump Around" by House of Pain, "California Love" by Tupac, "Let the Beat Build" by Lil Wayne, "Back Door Man" by the Doors and "Smooth Criminal" by Michael Jackson.

The logical choice for the last clue: Florida's Carlos Dunlap. One of our Twitter followers suggested it means the Seahawks will trade for Ben Roethlisberger.

We are eagerly anticipating Bill Belichick's draft clue tweets later in the day linking to Kid Cudi, Bon Jovi, and Wrecks-N-Effect.

There are so many jokes that can be made about the "Back Door Man". The Golden Calf of Bristol? Smooth Criminal must mean that Carroll is drafting one of his USC players. California Love might mean he's trading for Matt Leinart. Let the Beat Build? I didn't know Chris Brown played football. Maybe they are trading for James Harrison?

I didn't know there were any Duke players in this draft

It's Jimmy Clausen

He's from California (California Love)

He's a QB, who takes snaps "behind" the center (Back Door man)

And played for the Fighting Irish (House of Pain is Irish/American)

...and maybe Carrol thinks he play's like a "Smooth Criminal"

Makes sense to me...new coach wants a new QB to mold.

Sucks for the Bills.

But Pete Carrol, seriously dude, that's just silly.

    • To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. . 
    • The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
