Gone from Vikings, Ex-QB Joins Seahawks
The saga continues. For the past five seasons, former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sean Mannion has basically played hopscotch between the practice squad and active roster, never really getting a chance to prove himself as a starter. Today, the former third-round pick is taking his talents to the Seattle Seahawks, where he will compete for a spot on the team’s 53-man roster.
Mannion, who was drafted out of Oregon State in 2015, spent four seasons with the Vikings before signing with the New York Jets in 2019. He was released by the Jets last October and was quickly signed by the Vikings, where he spent the rest of the season as the team’s third-string quarterback.
Mannion was released by the Vikings earlier this offseason and found himself a new home in Seattle. He will compete with Geno Smith, who was signed by the Seahawks earlier this offseason, and incumbent starter Russell Wilson.
The Seahawks have made it clear that they are looking to add depth at the quarterback position and Mannion, who has four years of NFL experience, is a perfect fit. He has the size and arm strength to be successful in the NFL and the fact that he has been in the league for five seasons means he has the knowledge and experience to compete for a spot on the team’s roster.
Mannion has also shown that he can be a reliable backup quarterback, as he has filled in for Kirk Cousins and Teddy Bridgewater in the past. He has the ability to step in and provide the Seahawks with a steady hand at the quarterback position if needed.
Mannion is a great addition to the Seahawks roster and he will be a valuable asset to the team. He has the experience and knowledge to help the team win and he has the potential to be a reliable backup quarterback. With the Seahawks looking to add depth at the quarterback position, Mannion is the perfect fit.
The former Vikings quarterback will be competing with Geno Smith and Russell Wilson for a spot on the team’s 53-man roster. It’s unclear if Mannion will make the team, but it’s clear that he will be given a chance to compete and prove himself.
Mannion’s journey in the NFL has been an interesting one. He has gone from being a third-round pick to being released by two teams and now he finds himself in Seattle, where he will compete for a spot on the Seahawks’ roster. It will be interesting to see how this story plays out and if Mannion can make the team.
No matter what happens, Mannion has already proven that he has the talent and potential to be successful in the NFL. He has the size, arm strength, and experience to compete for a spot on the team’s 53-man roster and the Seahawks have made it clear that they are looking to add depth at the quarterback position.
The journey continues for Sean Mannion and the former Vikings quarterback is now looking to make his mark in Seattle. It will be interesting to see how this story plays out and if Mannion can make the team.
