3 XFL players the Seattle Seahawks could pursue in free agency

The XFL is allowing players to be signed by NFL teams starting Monday, March 23. Here are three players the Seattle Seahawks should pursue.

Quarterback P.J. Walker

Backup quarterback for the Seahawks may seem like a symbolic job, thanks to Russell Wilson’s iron man status, but it’s still important to find someone who can create and improvise the way Wilson does in the event he is forced to miss some time.

Geno Smith was an ideal complement to Wilson last season, although he did not end up playing a single snap.

Now, with Smith set to hit free agency and likely looking for an opportunity to actually play, the Seahawks will look elsewhere for a backup quarterback.

Enter P.J. Walker – the quarterback for the Houston Roughnecks and the likely XFL MVP.

The 25-year-old has already been scouted by the Seahawks, and it’s no surprise they’d show interest considering his ability as both a runner and a passer.

He struggled in his final game, which was against the Dragons, but he put together a stellar 5-0 record with 1,338 passing yards and a 15-to-4 touchdown-to-interception ratio.

Walker will likely draw interest from a lot of NFL teams, but coming to Seattle to learn from a star like Wilson could appeal to Walker – and his youth and style could make him an ideal fit in Seattle.
