"The Seahawks' regular-season finale in Arizona on Sunday will be the first game they have played under coach Pete Carroll that is utterly irrelevant for the postseason.

Carroll wouldn't call it meaningless, though.

"We want to win a football game," Carroll said. "There's no hesitation, there's no other agenda at all other than to win a football game."

Are there draft considerations? Sure. The Seahawks are one of 13 NFL teams that currently hold six, seven or eight victories. Seattle's first-round pick could wind up just about anywhere in the teens depending on what happens Sunday.

Then there's the consideration of getting a chance to evaluate some of the younger prospects on the roster. Say, perhaps, a certain third-string rookie quarterback like Josh Portis, who hasn't played since the exhibition season.

But Carroll insisted Monday he isn't looking down the road four months to the draft let alone considering evaluating the lower tiers of the depth chart.

"To look at something for the future is not what's in our minds at all," Carroll said. "We want to come back and play another good game of football.""
