The Seattle Seahawks welcomed an old friend back to the quarterback depth chart on Friday. Drew Lock, who was acquired in the Russell Wilson trade with the Denver Broncos in 2022, is returning to Seattle following a stint with the New York Giants.

There’s no doubt that the Seahawks view Sam Darnold as QB1 right now, but Sam Howell’s status on the roster looks far less certain.
