With teams wrapping up the voluntary OTA phase of their offseason routine, several NFL franchises are fine-tuning their rosters ahead of the required minicamp and future training camp this summer.
The Seattle Seahawks, under new head coach Mike Macdonald, have made an attempt to increase quarterback competition for the 2024 regular season.
A former Browns quarterback answered their call, signing with the Seahawks on Thursday.
The NFL’s official Twitter account shared the news of P.J. Walker inking a contract with Seattle, becoming the fourth athlete to join the quarterback room in Seattle.
Walker will fight with Geno Smith, newcomer and former Commanders quarterback Sam Howell, and youngster Chevan Cordeiro for a spot on the 53-man roster.
Walker signed with the Browns on a one-year contract last season and appeared in six games, a career high.
He completed 48.6 percent of his passes for 674 yards and one touchdown against five interceptions in 2023.
Walker spent the offseason prior to playing in Cleveland with the Chicago Bears, but the NFL franchise released Walker in August, allowing the Browns to sign him before the start of the 2023 regular season.
Walker played three years on the Carolina Panthers roster, appearing in 15 games from 2020 to 2022.
Walker had previously spent two years on the Colts practice squad after signing with the team as an undrafted free agent in 2017.
Walker attended Temple University, where he set several passing records and led the Owls to a 20-8 record as a starter in his junior and senior years.
