Seahawks adding veteran PJ Walker to quarterback room headlined by Geno Smith and Sam Howell, per report

USATSI

The Seattle Seahawks are adding another arm as they gear up for mandatory minicamp next week. The club is signing veteran quarterback P.J. Walker to a deal, according to NFL Media. The parameters of the contract that brings Walker to the Pacific Northwest were not immediately disclosed. 

Up until this signing, the Seahawks had only two quarterbacks on the 90-man offseason roster: starter Geno Smith and backup Sam Howell. For Walker, he’ll provide another arm as the Seahawks ramp up their offseason workouts leading into training camp and could look to latch on as a depth piece behind that duo when the regular season rolls around. 

The 29-year-old has bounced around the league the last few years after initially spending his first handful of seasons in the NFL with the Colts. After being released by Indy in the summer of 2019, Walker dipped into the XFL with the Houston Roughnecks where he led the league in passing yards and passing touchdowns. He then jumped back up to the NFL level with the Carolina Panthers in 2020 and spent three seasons there before more recently having a cup of coffee with the Chicago Bears last summer and eventually joining the Cleveland Browns.
