Seahawks giving Terrelle Pryor tryout
The Seattle Seahawks have won the NFC each of the past two seasons, but something has not been quite right in 2015. Seattle started the campaign with losses to the St. Louis Rams and Green Bay Packers. Then, the Seahawks got right by steamrolling the Chicago Bears, 26-0, on Sunday.

Now, the Seahawks are taking a look at Terrelle Pryor, who was cut by the Cleveland Browns earlier this summer, according to Pro Football Talk. Pryor has had chances with multiple chances but has not been able to catch on since starring at Ohio State University.
Pryor came out in the supplemental draft to the Oakland Raiders where they allowed him to become a quarterback. However, Pryor was never able to show enough to keep the starting job. Pryor was eventually replaced by Matt McGloin, who remains on Oakland’s roster as a reserve to second-year man Derek Carr.
Pryor then moved onto the Seahawks and Kansas City Chiefs before finally heading over to the Browns. Unfortunaly, Pryor was not able to practice much due to injury this training camp with Cleveland, and he was cut during the final releases before the 53-man roster was made official.
With Seattle, you have to imagine that head coach Pete Carroll is looking to use him in a role similar to what Percy Harvin had. Pryor was trying to make the Browns as a receiver, and it would make sense with the Seahawks, who are limited at that position. Carroll loves to create matchups, and Pryor could certainly give him that.
