The Seattle Seahawks signed another free agent quarterback to add to their depth following the NFL Draft.
Seattle signed former New York Jets quarterback Jake Heaps on Monday after adding TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin as an undrafted free agent. Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams will also attend the team’s rookie mini-camp this weekend as a tryout player.
Heaps grew up outside Seattle in Issaquah and was the No. 1 prep quarterback in the country at Skyline High School. His college career didn’t live up to that lofty expectation as he bounced from BYU to Kansas to Miami during his career. He signed with the Jets as an undrafted free agent last May. He spent training camp with the team before being released in August.
Heaps took part in Pro Day workouts at the University of Washington in March to get back in front of pro scouts.
The Seahawks said they have still been in discussions with Tarvaris Jackson about returning in a backup role. However, Heaps, Boykin and potentially Adams give Seattle some passers for offseason practices at the very least.
