Seattle Seahawks post-draft 53-man roster projection

The Seattle Seahawks are a long ways away from the 2020 regular season, but here’s our first take at what the 53-man roster could look like.

Quarterbacks (2): Geno Smith, Russell Wilson

As it has been for the last seven years, the only question surrounding Seattle’s roster at the quarterback position is who will back up Russell Wilson.

That question got some buzz on Saturday evening after the team reportedly agreed to sign former Washington State quarterback Anthony Gordon as an undrafted free agent – making him the only other quarterback on the roster at the moment.

However, despite massive amounts of turnover at the position recently, I think the Seahawks will bring Geno Smith back for another year behind Wilson.

Gordon is great, but his football awareness and arm strength are concerns, and Seattle would be wise to stash him on the practice squad if at all possible, allowing him to develop under Wilson and, eventually, take over as his full-time backup.

Carroll loves having backups with NFL experience, and my money is on Smith being back for another go-round.
