Seahawks sign former 1st-round pick Paxton Lynch

Paxton Lynch has found a new NFL team.

The former Denver Broncos first-round is being signed to a future/reserve contract by the Seattle Seahawks, as reported by Seattle radio station KJR.

.@IanFurnessSea has learned that the @Seahawks are signing QB Paxton Lynch.

The 2016 1st round pick by the Denver Broncos out of Memphis played 3 games in his rookie season and 2 in 2017 before being released last year.

Lynch did not finish the season on an NFL roster after being cut by the Broncos in September. He will be part of the Seahawks’ roster when the new league year begins in March, though that won’t guarantee he’ll make their final roster for next season.

Seattle has Brett Hundley behind Russell Wilson on their depth chart.
