3 backup quarterback options the Seahawks could pursue in 2020

The Seattle Seahawks will once again be in the market for a backup quarterback in 2020. Here are three options they could look into.

Anthony Gordon

Seattle’s selection of McGough in 2018 has opened the door for quarterbacks to get mocked to the Seahawks in the mid to late rounds, although McGough’s eventual release – in favor of the veteran Hundley – was proof the team wasn’t ready to groom a potential replacement.

Wilson’s gargantuan four-year, $140 million dollar contract did a good job of proving that as well, making a 2020 quarterback draft pick seem a tad unlikely.

However, Gordon is a local kid who could catch Pete Carroll’s eye, particularly if he’s around in the later rounds of the draft.

He has mobility and evasiveness in the pocket and has flashed excellent accuracy on intermediate and even longer throws – although arm strength is a question here, as well as decision making.

Seattle likely won’t be the favorite to land the Washington State product, but if the team feels like pursuing a project as their backup, his skill set could be a nice match for this offense while he hones his craft from one of the best.
