Seahawks sign former 1st-rounder Paxton Lynch

The Seattle Seahawks signed quarterback Paxton Lynch on Thursday, according to his agent.

Lynch did not play in 2018 after the Broncos released him at the end of the preseason. Denver's first-round pick in 2016 spent two very underwhelming seasons with the club, throwing for 792 yards with four touchdowns and four interceptions in five appearances.

Seattle faces an uncertain situation at quarterback behind Russell Wilson for next season, as backup Brett Hundley is a pending free agent.
