Ever since trading Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos, the Seahawks have been embroiled in conversation about what they will do at the quarterback position. After electing to not pick one of the rookie signal callers in the 2022 NFL draft, rumors began to swirl about Seattle potentially being interested in acquiring Baker Mayfield from the Browns.
Alas, the Mayfield ship has sailed, as the Panthers recently traded for the former Sooner standout. Of course, the Seahawks were reportedly never too interested in Mayfield. However, there could be another quarterback linked to the Seahawks in the never-ending cottage industry of offseason speculation… and this one is a lot closer to Seattle’s orbit.
The 49ers have been in the process for nearly half a year to move on from Jimmy Garoppolo. With his injury history, a lofty asking price and the quarterback market as a whole drying up, the 49ers have not been able to trade Garoppolo as of yet. But according to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Seahawks have done the requisite filmwork on their division rival.
