Seahawks Not Ruling Out Drafting A QB In The First Round
The Seattle Seahawks appear to have their quarterback of the future, making a trade with the San Diego Chargers for third-string quarterback Charlie Whitehurst.
And the Seahawks gave up a lot to secure the services of the four-year pro who has never thrown a regular-season pass. The Seahawks agreed to swap second-round picks with the Chargers, giving up the 40th overall pick in the second round in exchange for San Diego’s second-round pick at No. 60. Seattle also gave up the team’s third-round pick in 2011.
Seattle gave up valuable draft position for a chance to get a quarterback on the upswing. Whitehurst reportedly signed a two-year, $8 million deal with $2 million more in incentives. Whitehurst was extended a third-round tender by San Diego, so in order to obtain his services Seattle either had to sign him to an offer sheet and give up a third-round pick, or negotiate a trade as compensation. Seattle has no third-round pick in this year’s draft, so the team negotiated alternative compensation for Whitehurst.
