As quarterback dominoes continued to fall throughout the NFL on Monday — Matt Ryan from Atlanta to Indianapolis, free agent Marcus Mariota to Atlanta to take Ryan’s place, Jameis Winston to New Orleans — the Seahawks introduced Drew Lock to the media.
And if the timing may have been a coincidence, there are also signs that the Seahawks think Lock, acquired 13 days ago in the Russell Wilson trade, may do more than say hello in Seattle and instead could create a lasting impression.
The Seahawks don’t appear to be seriously pursuing Baker Mayfield and could be content to go with Lock, Geno Smith (expected likely to re-sign), Jacob Eason and maybe another quarterback either via the draft or trade/free agency, but not the kind of investment a Mayfield would be. An NFL Network report Monday stated the Seahawks “would potentially have some interest in Mayfield” but don’t look too interested now.
