The Seattle Seahawks may think they’ve defined their quarterback position in the near term with the trade that sent Russell Wilson to Denver — a deal that netted Seattle two first-round picks, two second-round picks, and former Broncos Noah Fant, Shelby Harris, and Drew Lock. Lock, the starter-turned-backup in Denver, was reallocated due to his overall inconsistency, which we at Touchdown Wire have detailed here.
It is also known that the Seahawks were interested in Lock when he came out of Missouri in the 2019 draft, where Denver selected him in the second round. No coincidence that Wilson got a new contract around that time. So, perhaps head coach Pete Carroll and general manager John Schneider actually see Lock as their quarterback of the future. An interesting gambit if so, given what Lock has and has not shown through three NFL seasons, but there you have it.
At the same time, there’s a budding friendship between Seahawks receiver Tyler Lockett and another NFL quarterback who’s been on the open market for quite some time.
