Russell Wilson is the starting the QB of the Seattle Seahawks and it is written in stone since they signed him to a massive extension in 2019 to make him the highest paid QB in the league.
That doesn’t mean things can’t change. It’s the NFL and injuries happen.
That’s why ESPN’s Field Yates believes the Seahawks would be a perfect fit for former Panther quarterback Cam Newton.
“If Cam is willing to go the Dalton/Winston route, Seattle is a fit that intrigues me. Yes, Russell Wilson has never missed a game, but with only UDFA Anthony Gordon on the roster behind him, Cam would provide invaluable insurance if ever needed. He’s still a baller,” Yates explained on Twitter.
Newton had previously stated he unwilling to be a backup anywhere, but appears to have changed his stance now that the market has pretty much dried up.
“From NFL Now: Free agent QB Cam Newton has not ruled out a backup QB job in the right situation, I’m told. He wants to be (and should be) a starter. But he’s open to being a backup,” Rapoport tweeted.
