Jets poach from Seahawks practice squad for possible next starting quarterback

The Seattle Seahawks are losing a practice squad member to the New York Jets, according to Josina Anderson. Veteran QB Brett Rypien is headed east to joing Gang Green, where he will back up Trevor Siemian and Zach Wilson. This will be his fourth team in the last two years. This was coupled with an announcement that they are moving on from Tim Boyle.

I’m told the #Jets are signing QB Brett Rypien off of Seattle’s practice squad and are releasing Tim Boyle, per source.

Zach Wilson is apparently “reluctant” to go back to a starting role, leaving the Jets with limited options at starter.
