RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks have officially signed backup quarterback Tarvaris Jackson, giving them a proven veteran behind starter Russell Wilson.
Seattle finalized Jackson's deal Tuesday, the first day of minicamp. Seattle cleared a roster spot when defensive end Ryan Robinson was waived/injured after rupturing his Achilles tendon last week. Robinson cleared waivers and reverted to Seattle's injured reserve list.
Jackson gives Seattle depth after the team went through most of the offseason with just Wilson and second-year free agent R.J. Archer on the roster after B.
