Drew Lock was part of the trade that sent Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos.
The Broncos sent five draft picks and three players to Seattle in exchange for Wilson and a fourth-round pick, but Lock was an essential part of the deal.
The team did not consider Lock a throw-in in the Wilson trade, according to Jeremy Fowler.
According to Mike Jones of USA Today, the Seahawks were considered a landing spot for Deshaun.
After losing the preseason battle to the player acquired for a sixth-round pick, Lock was the backup to Teddy Bridgewater.
The Broncos lost all three of Lock's starts as a starter, while Teddy led the team to a 7-7 record. In six appearances, Lock had 797 passing yards, two touchdown, two interception and an 80.4 rating.
Some of the blame was placed on Broncos coach Vic Fangio and the revolving door of offensive coordinators by those in Seattle.
Pat Shurmur and Rich Scangarello were unable to help Lock reach his potential.
He made 13 starts in 2020 and averaged 228.6 passing yards per game. He had a quarterback rating of 75.4, which was 32nd out of 35 qualified players.
A fresh start will give the second-round pick a chance to reach his potential.
During his college career at Missouri, Lock displayed an excellent skill set, and his strong arm was on display often in Denver.
The 6'4'', 228-pound passer has great size for the position and also showcased his mobility at times with 160 rushing yards and three touchdown in 2020. If he can cut down on the turnovers, he could be a quality starter.
Lock could be given an opportunity to prove himself in Seattle.
