Opening training camp with a projection of the offense on a 53-man roster

Today is day one of training camp, so without any hesitation I’m taking a stab in the dark at what the roster of the Seattle Seahawks will look like after the team pares things down to 53 on August 31.

Quarterback (2):

Let’s be honest, if Russell goes down, the outlook for the season is pretty bleak. The Hawks could realistically sign me to be the backup quarterback because if Russ isn’t taking snaps, any thoughts of the postseason are likely out the window. That said, I’d expect Geno Smith to get the nod over Paxton Lynch for the simple reason that Lynch has $600k in guaranteed base salary that the Denver Broncos will be paying this season.
