Seahawks sign QB Jaren Hall to practice squad and release Easop Winston Jr

The  Seahawks completed their quarterback room and thinned their wide receiver room by one with the signing of QB Jaren Hall and the release of Eason  Winston Jr .

Hall became available this week after the Vikings cut him last week after he had initially made the team’s 53-man roster. Hall was drafted by the Vikings in 2023 and started two games in his rookie year. A two-year starter at BYU before being drafted by the Vikings, Hall threw for  5 754 yards, 51 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. While not the fastest quarterback, Hall rushed for  658 yards and six touchdowns at BYU.

PROFESSIONAL DEBUT

Hall started two games last year and saw action in a third with mixed results.  His rookie debut was subbing for the injured  Kirk Cousin against the Green Bay Packers. In his debut, Hall completed  3 of 4 passes for 34 yards. In his two starts, Hall was  10 of 16 for 145 yards, one interception, and was sacked three times.

CROWDED ROOM

The release of Winston Jr came down to a numbers game. Winston Jr was released and then signed to the practice squad last week, and it looked like the former WSU Cougar would be with the Seahawks for a third consecutive year. With such a deep and talented wide receivers room, Winston Jr was expendable for the moment.   The Seahawks have six wide receivers on the 53 man roster, DK Metcalf, Tyler Lockett,  Jaxson Smith-Njigba, Derick Hal, Lavishaka Shenault Jr,  and Jake Bobo .  Cody White is the lone wide receiver on the practice squad.
