The Seattle Seahawks are making a move to bolster their quarterback depth ahead of their upcoming mandatory minicamp. According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Media, they will be adding P.J. Walker to their 90-man roster. With only Geno Smith and Sam Howell currently under contract as quarterbacks, Walker’s signing indicates that the team is looking to add depth and competition at the position for the upcoming camp.
Walker, who appeared in six games and made two starts for the Browns last season, has some experience under his belt. His starts came in place of Deshaun Watson in the middle of the season, but the Browns decided to go with other quarterbacks once Watson’s season ended. Prior to his time with the Browns, Walker also made seven starts for the Panthers over the previous three seasons.
With his solid experience, Walker will provide valuable depth and competition at the quarterback position for the Seahawks as they prepare for their mandatory minicamp. Adding him to the roster will help spread out the workload and provide some insurance at the position during camp and beyond.
