RENTON, Wash.
Custom Florida Panthers Jerseys . -- The Seattle Seahawks have called a news
conference for Friday morning amid a report they have reached a contract
extension with coach Pete Carroll. NFL Network reported Thursday night, citing a
"source," that Carroll and the Seahawks had reached agreement on a contract
extension. Carrolls original five-year deal with Seattle was set to expire after
the 2014 season. The Seahawks announcement did not specify the nature of the
news conference and team officials would not confirm the report of an extension
for Carroll. Carroll reached the top of the NFL last season, leading the
Seahawks to their first Super Bowl title. Lured away from USC in 2010 with the
chance at complete control over the football operations, Carroll tore down then
rebuilt the Seahawks roster into one of the best in the NFL. Hes 38-26 in four
regular seasons with Seattle and 5-2 in the playoffs. Carroll has made
competition the benchmark of his time in Seattle. Its why quarterback
Russell Wilson and cornerback Richard Sherman have become stars -- because they
were given opportunities in Carrolls system. Carroll, 62, is the second oldest
coach in the NFL, but rarely appears his age. He came to Seattle because of the
chance he didnt have in his two previous stops as an NFL head coach: control.
Seattle gave him the reins to the franchise, and hired him before adding general
manager John Schneider to the mix, a relationship that has been marked by
stability and success. Carroll lacked control in his previous positions with New
England and the New York Jets. But after a decade of winning with the Trojans
and having that control, it was something Carroll demanded if he was going to
get back into the professional ranks and the Seahawks were willing. Seattle also
let Carroll imprint his attitude on the locker room. He wanted a fun atmosphere
filled with accountability. Competition was at the crux of everything Carroll
did from the day he inherited a 5-11 team. Carroll took Seattle to the playoffs
in his first season despite a 7-9 regular season record. The Seahawks plateaued
in 2011 going 7-9 again but took a jump in 2012 after drafting Wilson. The
Seahawks went 11-5 in the regular season and reached the divisional round of the
playoffs. The roster turnover had been completed and there were massive
expectations going into 2013. Seattle matched and surpassed those expectations.
Carroll guided Seattle to 13 wins in the regular season, the NFC West title and
home-field advantage in the playoffs. Seattle knocked off New Orleans in the
divisional round, then edged San Francisco in the NFC title game to reach its
second Super Bowl. At the Super Bowl, Carroll got to celebrate the way he did
watching USCs run of dominance in the mid-2000s. Seattles defence stifled the
highest scoring offence in NFL history, humbling Denver in a 43-8 beating to
give Seattle its first title. After the season Carroll sounded as if he was
locked in to a long future with the Seahawks. "Were trying to do something
really good for a really long time and we want to see how far we can go and
someday, we look back and see what we accomplished," Carroll said.

Sean Nolin to triple-A Buffalo.TORONTO -- Players on the Edmonton Eskimos and
Calgary Stampeders will hold a strike vote Saturday. Veterans on teams outside
Alberta have already voted and are in a legal strike position but the Eskimos
and Stampeders were unable to vote earlier due to provincial labour laws. If
they vote in favour of a strike, the earliest they could do so is Wednesday
night in accordance with the legislation. The CFL and its players have been
without a collective agreement since May 29. The CFL exhibition season is
scheduled to begin Monday night with the Toronto Argonauts visiting the Winnipeg
Blue Bombers, but with players on both teams in a legal strike position, that
game could be threatened. CFL Players Association president Scott Flory didnt
return a telephone message Friday while a league spokesman said commissioner
Mark Cohon wasnt available for comment. The Eskimos and Stampeders will include
their rookies in the vote because Alberta law requires all players to
participate. Traditionally, first-year players dont vote because theyre not
recognized as certified union members, but the players association is allowing
them to do so to counter any potential legal challenge from the league. Some
other teams in the league will also hold second votes Saturday to include their
rookies. The two sides have been negotiating on a new collective bargaining
agreement since February but reached an impasse on Monday when the league
rejected the players latest offer. The league and unionn last met face to face
May 29.

Barkov Panthers Jersey Authentic. . Despite turning down the players offer
Monday, the CFL extended the ratification bonus deadline to midnight ET on
Friday. If the players accepted the leagues final offer in that timeframe,
veterans would receive a $5,000 bonus while rookies would get $1,500. However, a
league spokesman said the bonus clause would be taken off the table after the
deadline. There has only been one strike since the CFLPA was formed in 1965.
Three weeks of training camp were lost in 1974 before a new agreement was
reached. No regular-season games were affected. The 2014 regular season is
scheduled to kick off June 26. The two sides dont appear to be far apart on
financial issues. The CFLPA has requested a $5.2-million salary cap and
$4.8-million minimum. The CFL has countered with a $5-million cap. The two sides
have agreed on boosting the minimum salary $5,000 to $50,000. After demanding
specific revenue-sharing percentages, the CFLPA offer called for a fixed cap for
at least two years. After the second, if league revenues increased by more than
$18 million -- excluding the Grey Cup -- the two sides would renegotiate the cap
or the entire agreement. The CFL offer called for the cap to be renegotiated if
its revenues increased by $27 million or more in the third year. Non-monetary
issues, such as player safety, practice roster size, eliminating the option year
on CFL contracts and practice times, are also sticking points.
