Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll's draft day clues may be causing some to see things in his Twitter decisions that may not exist but if the Seahawks suddenly become a contender for defensive end Khalil Mack's services. A whole host of Twitter purveyors will have been the first on the scene after Carroll's crazy clue. Each year during draft season, Carroll gives out clues via wild video antics. If you forgot this years crop here's a friendly reminder of what Carroll put us all through during the 2018 NFL Draft.

No one ever really solves the clues and he never speaks of them again after he hands them out, because he's a lunatic who likes to leave things unsolved and unresolved. That's stated affectionately of course. But, who hurt you Pete Carroll? Why must you leave us in the dark every year? It's driving me us crazy. And he's never actually carried the game outside of draft day. But, maybe there's a first time for everything and some fun speculation has surfaced over Pete Carroll's Tuesday Song of the Day choice.

Let's be clear. Carroll doesn't always do a Song of the Day. He's not as diligent with his musical Twittering like the Athletic's Michael-Shawn Dugar. So it got people's attention when he chose this 90's jammie jam from R&B vocalist Mark Morrison.

If that songs unfamiliar to you or you're hard of hearing, the title goes "Return of the Mack."

Naturally, the "Mack" of it all got people's attention for a little bit of fun. Could Carroll be signaling a trade for Khalil Mack was in the works? Or does he just love the song? Who doesn't? Maybe, he's talking about his team returning to CenturyLink Field on Thursday? Maybe, the Seahawks are the macks? Maybe, the 12's are the macks? They've already had one preseason game at home; so they're not technically returning at least not for the first time. They did go on a two-game preseason road trip; so technically, they're returning from that. But do you really highlight that for preseason week four -- the least of all preseason weeks? Well besides preseason week one or week two or week three.

There's. Just. So. Many. Questions.

The Seahawks may have the treasure the Oakland Raiders seek if they wanted to trade Mack but last anyone checked, they didn't. Teams are calling them for the best young pass rusher in the NFL but they aren't ready to accept any offers, despite the talented defensive end possibly missing week one of the regular season. Could the Seahawks leverage their own holdout candidate as a key piece in a Mack deal?

If the Seahawks threw together a package of Earl Thomas and a couple of picks (an early draft pick and a late-round pick) could that get the job done if they asked for Mack and mid-round pick back? It would take some cap reworking but it's a workable deal and it makes sense. The Raiders need a free safety and maybe they feel more amenable to extending Thomas. Meanwhile, the Seahawks would have no issue extending Mack long-term.

Suddenly both holdouts are over.

Who knows what Carroll's doing with his Song of the Day choice? He's likely not signaling any big trade news via his Twitter. But, he's a crazy person some times and that's meant affectionately. So on the other hand.....
