We've learned that Pete Carroll and John Schneider are trying to bring in troubled Brian Banks.

Listen to his podcast on ESPN.
Quote:
"He's a convicted sex offender, a man who served five years in prison. He's now had all his past given back to him. He was falsely accused."
On Thursday, May 24 Banks got his life back to say the least. And now he wants to play in the NFL.
