Six things we learned from the first day of 2019, Seahawks Minicamp

After the Seahawks picked two safety points in last week's draft, Carroll announced that the choice would be that the second round selection, Marquise Blair, be launched safely while the fourth player, Ugo Amadi, will play in all security. One of Amadi's best assets in Oregon, however, was the versatility that allowed him to play safety, cornerback and backhand. So it was not surprising to see the Seahawks look at him so early by covering nickel slot machines.

"We will start Marquise with enhanced security and Ugo with free security.We will start collecting information," Carroll said. "Amadi has already played a few cents today, we present it to him. He played a lot on the slot machine in his background, so we want to see how that fits, but we're going to highlight it in the background and we're just going to start taking information. "

On Friday, almost everyone on the field was a rookie, but players who did not accumulate a full season of NFL experience are also eligible, and one of those players involved was Simeon cornerback Thomas, a member of the Seattle training squad last season. Thomas, who was called off last year and then spent most of the season in the training team, will try to take advantage of this extra work.

"It's an important camp for him," Carroll said. "He was a little in the shadows of everyone at the end of the season. I'm really looking forward to seeing how he's taking advantage of this opportunity. He will be the most experienced guy, will understand the scheme, the principles, the technique and all that. I just want to see if he can make the next step forward and join us as a freshman in sophomore and that he can take a quick jump right away. This is what we are looking for. "

Friday marked the deadline for the NFL teams to exercise the fifth-year option on the first round selections of 2016, and the Seahawks chose not to do so with the tackle Germain Ifedi which means that 2019 is the last year of his contract. Not exercising this option does not mean that the Seahawks and Ifedi will not have the opportunity to extend their tenure until now, when he is free, and Carroll made it clear that they would still like to see Ifedi become part of future of the team.

"There are a lot of factors," said Carroll about Seattle who did not choose the option. "We are trying to keep the list and everything else together, and the big demands that we can sometimes bend, and sometimes we can not. We love Germain, he grew up with us, he became a solid footballer and did a great job. He started a ton of games for us, suspended and hard about it. We would like to have it. This is not an indication of anything. We love this guy and we hope he will be with us for a long time. "
