Seahawks Have ‘Lengthy’ Meeting With New Star QB Sparking Rumors:
The Seattle Seahawks met with former Michigan Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
The Seattle Seahawks appear to potentially still be in the quarterback business. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer reported that the Seahawks had a “lengthy” meeting with former Michigan Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
New Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald has familiarity with McCarthy from his days as Michigan’s defensive coordinator. McCarthy is projected to be off the board by the time Seattle is on the clock at No. 16. The Seahawks would likely need to trade up in order to have a chance at McCarthy.
“Ahead of his Friday Pro Day, Michigan QB JJ McCarthy had lengthy meetings Thursday in Ann Arbor with 3 teams—the Patriots, Seahawks and Commanders,” Breer said in a series of March 25, 2024 messages on X. “Seattle coach Mike Macdonald was with McCarthy at Michigan in 2021.
McCarthy’s been excellent in that setting, meeting with teams. Macdonald wasn’t in Ann Arbor for it, but obviously the Seahawks have great intel on McCarthy, with their new head coach and Jay Harbaugh on staff. And for what it’s worth, the Commanders had the dinner slot on Thursday.
