Seattle Seahawks’ Quarterback Search

The Seahawks have undergone significant changes this offseason but still have the potential to remain competitive. 

Seattle is reportedly considering a quarterback, but only time will reveal if they decide to make the move. 

Now is an ideal moment to seek out a potential candidate, given that Geno Smith is an excellent veteran quarterback for any aspiring player to gain knowledge from.

Congratulations to Tyler Lockett for renegotiating his contract with the Seahawks. 

His position might decrease slightly, but his reliability on the field will greatly benefit Seattle’s passing attack.
