Carroll comfortable with Brock signing after domestic violence arrest

The Seattle Seahawks signed cornerback Tramaine Brock on Thursday, and head coach Pete Carroll is confident the team did its due diligence on his background.

Brock was released by the San Francisco 49ers in April after he was arrested on suspicion of domestic violence, but the charges were dismissed earlier this month due to lack of evidence.

"What I would say to you is, I don't know how anybody could have done a more extensive look into this," Carroll said, according to Sheil Kapadia of ESPN. "John (Schneider, the team's general manager) started this quite some time ago and followed it throughout to make sure we knew exactly what was going on. I'm not going to go into particulars for you, but we feel assured that we have done all of the homework that can be done and done a little bit past that and then maybe past that. We've really done our work here and feel that we're in a good place with him."

Brock's accuser later released a statement saying the confrontation was only verbal. Carroll wouldn't reveal if he spoke to the alleged victim.

"I'm not going to go into that, OK," he said. "There's a million questions you could ask me about that. We've done everything that you could do. All I can tell you is it's been a comprehensive look into it, and I feel great telling you that. There's too many aspects of it to go ahead and talk to you about it specifically."

Brock spent the past seven seasons with the 49ers, totaling 181 tackles and 11 interceptions.
