The Seahawks have had talks with Cam Newton, according to head coach Pete Carroll (Twitter link via Brady Henderson of ESPN.com). Carroll declined to say whether they’ve discussed terms, but there’s at least some interest in bringing the former MVP to Seattle. 
“Just so you know, we have talked to him,” Carroll said. “We’re talking to everybody that could help us.”
Newton could backstop Geno Smith, the Seahawks’ current starter. For what it’s worth, Newton claims that he would have been willing to sit behind Mac Jones in New England had the Patriots kept him on the Week 1 roster.
The 32-year-old recently announced that he’s been vaccinated for COVID-19, clearing another potential hurdle for interested clubs like the Seahawks. Even though he struggled in 2020 and ranked 29th in cumulative QBR from 2016-19, there’s no denying that he’d be a high-upside pickup at the right price.
The Seahawks are 2-4 following Sunday’s overtime loss to the Steelers. Next up, a Monday night showdown with the Saints.
No news, they talk to everyone but most don’t even come in for a visit
He’s a sexual icon
In case you were wondering, Jake Luton is the current Seattle backup QB.
Kiss of Death! He was with his previous team going on two seasons and the ROOK was teaching him the playbook?
Newton and Jones TALKED about plays together rather than TAUGHT each other plays.
They rarely let Geno Smith throw a pass farther than 5 yards downfield last night, so either they need to loosen things up or get someone else in there. However I’m not sure if Cam is much of an upgrade, even over Geno.
I thought that this would be a decent possibility, especially after Smith got the nod. Newton may or may not be an upgrade throwing, but he will certainly be an upgrade as a runner. The RPOs are one area where Newton should give Seattle an upgrade. Seattle didn’t run RPOs as much with Wilson as some would expect with a mobile QB, but they may choose to incorporate more with Newton or another mobile QB as a backup to protect them as passers.
Please sign him, just for the drama that follows. Media will be asking for Cam to start over Russ when he’s back
Geno Smith did fine. Especially against a stellar defense with only one week of first reps.
Smith was not nearly as utterly horrible as many expected, that is true.
matt flynn wants his shot.
if colin powell doesnt get a second chance there is no god
McCown
I don’t imagine the prospect of being sacked 40 times a season would appeal to him or many other QBs for that matter. Pete Carroll will have a tough sales job getting a good QB to join this sinking ship.
They called Kap too. You know Pete is a prankster. He called them and when they got excited yelled psych and hung up.
Deshaun Watson. The answer is so clear.
