Brady Quinn Rumors & News

The Seattle Seahawks have their starting quarterback in Russell Wilson, signed Brady Quinn in free agency as the backup and brought back third-year pro Josh Portis because of his knowledge of the team’s offense. So the Seahawks are good at quarterback, right? Not so fast. Seahawks general manager John Schneider would not rule out selecting a quarterback in this year’s daft to add competition to the quarterback room. Wilson was the first quarterback the Schneider/Pete Carroll regime selected during their tenure in Seattle, and they hit a home run with the third-round selection. But there are so...

Seemingly every year, some prospect who every mock drafter and pundit had as a top pick will slide. They'll all react with shock and inevitably praise the team that does eventually draft the guy as getting a great "value." In reality though, guys probably don't slide very much in the draft.

The San Francisco 49ers and the Seattle Seahawks will arguably be two of the most-hyped teams to make the Super Bowl out of the NFC in 2013. Both teams traded their rather high-profiled backup quarterbacks this offseason -- the 49ers sent Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs, while the Seahawks sent Matt Flynn to the Oakland Raiders.

As it turns out, both teams opted to go with quarterbacks who were formerly drafted by the...
