The Seahawks signed former Chargers quarterback Cardale Jones to their practice squad on Saturday, according to the NFL’s transaction report.
After his best preseason as a professional yet, Jones was released on cutdown day. Jones was preceded by rookie Easton Stick for the last quarterback spot on the roster.
Despite completing 28-of-41 passes for 357 yards (8.7 yards per attempt) with one touchdown, no interceptions for a passer rating of 103.4 this summer, Los Angeles didn’t see a future with Jones.
Jones replaces his former teammate at Ohio State, J.T. Barrett, who was signed by Seattle and was released when they finalized the 53-man roster.
Jones will reunite with Geno Smith on the practice field. Jones and Smith backed up Philip Rivers in 2018. Smith won the backup job to Russell Wilson.
