We’re a week out from Seattle Seahawks training camp, and it looks like it really is going to be a battle among Geno Smith, Drew Lock, and (a distant third) Jacob Eason to be the team’s first starting quarterback post-Russell Wilson. Not exactly inspiring stuff, is it?
I get it. When Wilson was traded back in March I thought that acquiring the top-10 pick from the Denver Broncos meant Seattle would look at finding Russell’s replacement through the NFL Draft. Then you had Baker Mayfield and Matt Ryan available for trade, Jimmy Garoppolo is currently available for trade, and plenty of fans and pundits speculated that those were some names the Seahawks could look at to be the Russ replacement.
