It needs to be very clear that Geno Smith and Sam Howell are the highest two quarterbacks on the Seattle Seahawks’ depth chart. PJ Walker’s preseason performances have left a lot to be desired so far as a follow squad/ “emergency” quarterback, and maybe this explains this little bit of Sunday night time information.
Veteran NFL reporter Aaron Wilson revealed that Casey Bauman, who was with the Los Angeles Chargers for the briefest of temporary durations, was introduced in for a exercise by the Seahawks.
Bauman was born in Bellingham and starred at Nooksack Valley Excessive Faculty, lower than quarter-hour from the Canadian border. He spent 4 seasons with the Montana State Bobcats, redshirting his freshman season and in any other case scarcely taking part in earlier than transferring to Division II’s Augustana College in South Dakota in 2022. In his last season of faculty, Bauman threw for 29 touchdowns to only 9 interceptions and almost 3,000 passing yards, in addition to rushed for over 300 yards and 5 touchdowns.
After going undrafted in each the NFL and CFL—Bauman’s mom is Canadian, which makes him CFL Draft eligible—the Los Angeles Chargers signed him as a part of their UDFA rookie class. He was simply launched final week, having not performed in opposition to the Seahawks of their Week 1 preseason matchup.
This doesn’t imply a signing is imminent, however it’s one thing price monitoring nearer to the ultimate preseason sport and even after cutdown day to see who the follow squad quarterback is.
