Seahawks WR Baldwin unsure if Wilson is held accountable

Seattle Seahawks wide receiver Doug Baldwin said he is unsure if Seahawks coach Pete Carroll is holding star quarterback Russell Wilson accountable enough in response to an ESPN story citing friction inside the locker room.
On an interview with 710 ESPN's "Brock and Salk," Baldwin admitted he did not read the entire article but praised Carroll for the job he has done managing personalities.
"I don't know (about Wilson's accountability)," Baldwin told 710 ESPN. "Honestly, I didn't even read the entire article. I read parts of it. Didn't really have time to read the whole thing."
The ESPN article suggested that Seahawks star cornerback Richard Sherman has engaged in an ongoing feud with Carroll and Wilson dating back to the team's loss to the New England Patriots in Super Bowl XLIX.
"I think Pete does a fantastic job of handling different individuals differently," Baldwin added. "We all have our different personalities. We all act different ways. And Pete does a fantastic job of accommodating those personalities. He's done it with me. He's done it with Russ, with (Sherman), with (Marshawn Lynch), with all of us. And he does a great job at it."
Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett described the article as "trash" and "all gossip" while Sherman called the idea of ongoing locker room turmoil "nonsense."
Seattle (10-5-1) won the NFC West last season and advanced to the NFC divisional round before losing 36-20 to the eventual NFC champion Atlanta Falcons.
