In a late Friday news dump, the Seattle Seahawks crushed the hopes and dreams of fans who had hoped undrafted free agent quarterback Levi Lewis could grab the starting quarterback role following the trade of Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos. However, with the quarterback competition currently down to Geno Smith, Drew Lock and Jacob Eason, the Hawks will take to the practice field for the first of ten organized team practice activities (OTAs).
The arrival of OTAs means that the offseason work period for players has reached Phase III, which is a fancy way of saying that teams can now hold non-contact practices over the next several weeks.
