SEATTLE — The Seahawks stunned the football world on March 8 by trading Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. Also on March 8, roughly two minutes later (OK, maybe one minute later), a new parlor game kicked off: Who will be the Seahawks quarterback in 2022?
We still don't know for sure. The Seahawks have made it clear all along that they had a much loftier evaluation of Drew Lock, the Broncos QB whom they acquired in the deal, than most of the rest of the industry. Their unwavering company line has been that they would be perfectly content to go into camp later this month with a competition between Lock and Geno Smith — and may the best man win.
Such a stance was buttressed when the likes of Deshaun Watson and Baker Mayfield, quarterbacks linked to the Seahawks to varying degree, landed elsewhere.
