Seahawks To Sign TCU QB Boykin As Undrafted Free Agent

TEXAS, Sporting Alert - Seattle Seahawks has apparently agreed on terms to sign TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin as an undrafted free agent, according to a tweet from the player.

The Seahawks are pretty set at the quarterback position with Russell Wilson as their main man, so it was no surprised that they didn't choose to use any of their 10 draft picks to grab a QB.

However, Wilson is the only quarterback on the Seattle roster so if something should happen to the 27-year-old, they would need a reliable backup.

It is understood that after the release of Phillip Sims, who was one of the only two quarterbacks on the roster, Wilson requested that the club goes out and sign A backup.

It looks like he go his wish, as on Saturday night, Boykin tweeted: "I'm so happy and blessed for the opportunity. Proud to be a @Seahawks."
