It’s been nearly a year since the Seahawks traded quarterback Russell Wilson to the Broncos, drastically altering the trajectories of both franchises. Seattle found its new quarterback in Geno Smith, who was named the NFL’s Comeback Player of the Year and just signed a new three-year contract worth up to $105 million. The Broncos, meanwhile, had an abysmal year and, as part of the Wilson trade, sent their 2023 first-round pick to Seattle.
Despite all of these developments, don’t rule out the possibility of the Seahawks using that pick acquired from Denver to select another quarterback in the 2023 NFL draft.
That’s what head coach Pete Carroll said while making an appearance on the Rich Eisen Show on Wednesday. When asked about his team’s plans for the No. 5 pick, Carroll made it clear all options are on the table.
