The Facts: The Seahawks have a backup to Russell Wilson in Trevone Boykin. Now that Boykin has been arrested, could the Seahawks be looking for another quarterback to serve as Wilson's understudy? If they are, there's one available QB who would make a lot of sense -- if he's willing to suspend for a year his desire to be a starter. That would be Kaepernick.
Diehards Line:
Kaepernick, as one source explained it to PFT, has very high regard for Seahawks HC Pete Carroll. And we know that Seahawks CB Richard Sherman has high regard for Kaepernick; Sherman recently opined that Kaepernick is better than 20 of the current starting quarterbacks in the NFL. Whether that's really the case or not, the Seahawks have seen first-hand what Kaepernick can do with the right coaching and game planning. If/when Wilson gets injured, Kaepernick would definitely be a better option than Boykin, especially if Boykin’s arrest results in the team moving on from him the same way it moved on from Tarvaris Jackson following an arrest a year ago.
