NFL World Reacts To Latest Blake Bortles News
On Tuesday afternoon, news broke that the Seattle Seahawks were hosting a veteran quarterback for a workout.
According to a report from NFL insider Field Yates, the Seahawks worked out veteran quarterback Blake Bortles. The news comes after Seattle lost star quarterback Russell Wilson to a finger injury.
Bortles has amassed a cult following since his days with the Jacksonville Jaguars. After taking that team to the AFC title game in 2017, he’s struggled to maintain a roster spot.
Earlier this offseason he signed with the Green Bay Packers and tried out for the Atlanta Falcons. After learning of the latest Bortles news, fans are looking forward to a potential Bortles-Geno Smith quarterback room – kind of.
“Explaining to my wife we have to move to Seattle to be closer to the Geno Smith-Blake Bortles quarterback room,” The Ringer’s Kevin Clark wrote.
