The Seahawks released Walker on Tuesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports. Walker never seemed like a true candidate to beat out Sam Howell for the No. 2 role behind Geno Smith, but he could resurface on Seattle's practice squad as the team's emergency third quarterback. The veteran signal-caller appeared in six games for the Browns last season.

P.J. Walker: Breaking News
Lands in Seattle
The Seahawks are slated to sign Walker to a contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports. Walker gives Seattle a necessary third quarterback on the depth chart in advance of training camp. He'll now have an opportunity to compete for the No. 3 job behind Geno Smith and Sam Howell. Walker is among the league's more experienced depth options, as he suited up for 21 regular-season games from 2020-23.
Back to bench with Watson in
Watson will make just his second start since Week 3. The last time Watson returned from his injury, he aggravated it in Week 7 against the Colts, so Walker wound up playing most of that game. Barring another injury to Watson, Walker likely won't play again this season.
