One thing worth pointing out about this question: Carroll and Schneider are playing with house money, aren't they? They've already won the Super Bowl. Doesn't that free them up to take a shot?
Furthermore, they don't actually have to extend Russell Wilson until after the 2015 season. The worst case scenario if you trade for DeSean Jackson, even if we were to trade the #32 pick, is that he plays for a year and doesn't restructure. The $12.5 million comes off the books at the end of the year and the Seahawks still have a chance to sign Earl Thomas long-term and franchise Richard Sherman, if need be.
I certainly understand the concerns about DSJ in the locker room. But from a risk perspective, I don't think there's much holding JS/PC back from taking this gamble.
