Seahawks: 3 Russell Wilson replacements Seattle should target

After the Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Broncos, Seattle has to explore all their options to find a replacement to build around.

Tuesday ended an era for Seattle with Russell Wilson getting shipped out to Denver for multiple players and draft picks.

The Seahawks are getting Drew Lock as part of the deal but they should still look to make a move of their own to add a quarterback to depend on.

Who can Seattle turn to for the future of their franchise at QB?

Russell Wilson replacements the Seahawks should target

Jordan Love

Tuesday was a wild day for quarterbacks in the NFL between Wilson’s trade to the Broncos and Aaron Rodgers opting to return to the Packers. Both moves left odd men out: The Seahawks and Jordan Love. So maybe they should get together.

Love was a first-round draft pick in 2020. Green Bay moved up to make him the successor to Aaron Rodgers. Clearly, that hasn’t worked out the way they planned but Rodgers’ late resurgence is more to blame for that than Love not being good enough.

The Wilson trade is bringing a bunch of assets to Seattle, giving them the chance to rebuild. If Love costs a second-rounder, the Seahawks can put their new first rounder to use somewhere else on the roster while locking in a quarterback with upside on the cheap for the next two years.

The jury is still out on Love but that’s mostly because he hasn’t gotten the chance to prove what he’s got on a full-time basis.
