Seahawks’ QB Trevone Boykin arrested again on Thursday

The Seattle Seahawks’ backup QB, Trevone Boykin, continues to find himself in trouble with the law. Now, it’s being reported that Boykin has been arrested again on a prior charge.

According to a report from TMZ Sports, Seahawks’ backup quarterback Trevone Boykin has been arrested on a warrant Thursday afternoon. The second-year quarterback from TCU was arrested for violating his probation. Back in March, Boykin was originally arrested for being a passenger in a car that crashed into a Dallas bar. During the original arrest, Boykin was charged with possession of Marijuana and public intoxication.

But wait, this still was not the first time Boykin has had a run-in with the law. Back in 2015, he was charged with striking a public official when exiting the bar. He was on probation for this arrest, but this recent incident has led to his arrest.

Boykin has been released after posting the bond and will be arraigned later this month. With these charges, he could potentially be facing a year of prison time.

The Seahawks took the the middle-of-the-road approach, claiming to “wait to gather more information,” meaning they’ll keep him until Boykin’s issues get worse. But after this recent arrest, I think it’s time to let go of Boykin if you’re the Seahawks. He’s an undrafted free agent, who has only appeared in one game during his rookie season.

Russell Wilson hasn’t missed a game in his career yet, and the Seahawks can look elsewhere for a backup quarterback. The issues surrounding Boykin just continue to pile up, and at this point, it’s probably best to just cut ties.

There are some options that the Seahawks can pursue, including the recently released Luke McCown or ex-49ers signal-caller Colin Kaepernick. They can also do the same thing they did back in 2016, which is have a rookie play backup.
