RENTON -- Chris Clemons' surprise retirement one day before he was supposed to report to training camp at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton didn't come as a shock to head coach Pete Carroll.
Seattle signed Clemons, 34, signed a one-year deal to return to Seattle on April 1, but did not participate in the voluntary periods of the Seahawks offseason program.
Following the team's first training camp Friday at the Virginia Mason Athletic Center in Renton, Carroll told reporters he had some indication the 12-year NFL veteran wouldn't suit up in 2016.
"He just didn't want to play anymore, he was done," Carroll said.
