The Seattle Seahawks may begin the season with Geno Smith and Drew Lock as the only quarterbacks on the roster. Promising signal-caller Jacob Eason was among the Seahawks’ notable roster cuts as the team released 21 players to finalize their 53-man roster.
Seattle could still make additional moves by attempting to claim players who have been released by opposing teams. The Seahawks claimed Eason last October after he was released by the Colts.
The former five-star quarterback still had two seasons remaining on his four-year, $4 million rookie contract. Eason was selected by the Colts in the fourth round of the 2020 NFL draft.

Eason can now be claimed by an opposing team just as Seattle did last season after the quarterback was released by Indianapolis.
