The event, attended by numerous current and former Seahawks, marks a potential reconciliation between Wilson and his former teammates.
- Pete Carroll, the former head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, was honored at a farewell dinner organized by his current and former players at Legion, a restaurant in Bellevue, Washington owned by former Seahawks Richard Sherman and Kam Chancellor.
- The surprise of the evening was the appearance of former Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson, who flew in to see Carroll and his former teammates despite having a public fallout with the 'Legion of Boom' over the years.
- According to Carroll, the dinner may have been the first step towards reconciliation between Wilson and the 'Legion of Boom', as they were seen talking and having fun at the event.
- The event was attended by several other former and current Seahawks players, including receivers Sidney Rice, Tyler Lockett, Jermaine Kearse and Doug Baldwin, defensive back DeShawn Shead, safeties Quandre Diggs, Jamal Adams and Lawyer Milloy, and linebacker Bobby Wagner.
- Carroll, who is stepping into an advisory role within the Seahawks organization, leaves as the franchise's winningest coach and the only one to bring a Super Bowl to Seattle.
