The Grenn Bay Packers traded backup quarterback Brett Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks, the team announced Wednesday. In exchange for Hundley, Green Bay will receive an undisclosed draft choice. Hundley is entering his third season in the NFL after being drafted by the Packers out of UCLA in the fifth round in 2015. In his two years in Green Bay, Hundley appeared in 15 games. He started nine contests last season after Aaron Rodgers broke his collarbone in Week 6. In the 11 games he played last season, Hundley completed 60.8% of his passes for 1,836 yards, nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions. The Packers went 3-6 in the nine games he started. After backing up a two-time MVP to start his career, Hundley will now play behind four-time Pro Bowler Russell Wilson. In his previous six seasons in the NFL, Wilson started in all 96 regular season games and all 12 playoff games Seattle played. Demovsky reports Green Bay will keep DeShone Kizer and Tim Boyle as backups for Rodgers barring something unforseen in Thursday's preseason finale that would force the teamm to take a different approach to its 53-man roster. The Packers and Seahawks will play each other in Week 11 on Thursday, Nov. 15 in Seattle.<doc-sep>Getty Images Russell Wilson will have a new backup quarterback, and so will Aaron Rodgers. The Packers have traded quarterback Brett Hundley, who filled in after Rodgers’ injury last season, to the Seahawks, according to ESPN. Seattle is sending an undisclosed 2019 draft pick to Green Bay in the deal. Hundley did not play particularly well last season as the Packers struggled in Rodgers’ absence, and the Packers traded for former Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer this offseason. So it’s not surprising that Hundley was traded. The Packers now have two backup quarterbacks on their roster, Kizer and Tim Boyle. Hundley joins Austin Davis and seventh-round rookie Alex McGough behind Wilson on the Seahawks’ depth chart.<doc-sep>DeShone Kizer will be the backup quarterback behind Aaron Rodgers for the Green Bay Packers in 2018. According to Rob Demovsky and Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Packers have traded quarterback Brett Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks for a pick in the 2019 draft. Packers are trading QB Brett Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2019 draft pick, per @RobDemovsky and me. — Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) August 29, 2018 Hundley, a fifth-round pick of the Packers in 2015, made nine starts in place of Rodgers last season but struggled with inconsistency and decision-making. In search of better competition behind Rodgers, new GM Brian Gutekunst sent cornerback Damarious Randall to Cleveland for Kizer, a second-round pick in 2017 who made 15 starts for the Cleveland Browns last season. Although Hundley has been Rodgers’ primary backup throughout training camp and the preseason, it now appears Kizer will go into the regular season as the Packers’ No. 2 quarterback. Through three preseason games, Hundley has completed 23 of 37 passes for 263 yards, one touchdown and one interception. In trading Hundley, the Packers can now keep just two quarterbacks on the 53-man roster while stashing rookie Tim Boyle on the practice squad, giving coach Mike McCarthy his preferred number of quarterbacks. It’s also possible Boyle has played his way onto the Packers’ roster as the third quarterback. Hundley will leave Green Bay having completed 194 of 326 passes for 1,863 yards, nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions over 15 games with the Packers. He is entering the final year of his rookie contract in 2018.<doc-sep>The Seattle Seahawks acquired Brett Hundley from the Green Bay Packers Wednesday morning as they opened up the damn somewhat on quarterback movement. Later in the day, the New York Jets would follow suit by trading Teddy Bridgewater to the New Orleans Saints for a third-round pick. More quarterback trades are expected to follow and if Hundley ever plays a meaningful snap of football, the Seahawks would receive some slight scrutiny over which backup quarterback they acquired. But at the end of the day, the move has little of chance of affecting their season. Quarterback Russell Wilson has never missed an NFL start and rarely missed any NFL snaps. He missed only five total snaps in 2017; so the chances Hundley sees the NFL field in 2018 are so slim to none. Meanwhile, the Green Bay Packers were able to recoup some value by trading Hundley and handing the reigns to their backup job to DeShone Kizer. Instead of cutting Hundley and him going through waivers while the Packers recoup no value, they got a pick out of the deal. Obviously, the Seahawks get the quarterback they want without any of the stress of wondering if he'll clear waivers to them during final roster cuts on Saturday and it costs them a minimal value items. Thanks to the relationship between John Schneider and his former organizations both sides got a win-win trade. Here's how the NFL saw the trade of Brett Hundley to the Seahawks on Wednesday. Take a look.<doc-sep>
With one move, both the Green Bay Packers and Seattle Seahawks have settled their backup quarterback situations. According to multiple reports, the Packers are trading backup QB Brett Hundley to the Seahawks. Per NFL Network's Ian Rapoport, the Seahawks will send a sixth-round pick in 2019 to Green Bay in the deal. Hundley was the Packers' fifth-round pick back in 2015. He's worked behind Aaron Rodgers over the last few seasons, starting nine games for Green Bay a year ago while Rodgers missed time due to a broken collarbone. Hundley completed 61 percent of his passes at 5.8 yards per attempt, while throwing nine touchdowns against 12 interceptions and compiling a 3-6 record as a starter. The Packers traded for former Browns quarterback DeShone Kizer earlier this offseason, and the Hundley trade makes it apparent that Kizer will be Rodgers' primary backup this season. Seattle making this move likely means that Hundley will back up Russell Wilson, taking over the role that had previously belonged to Trevone Boykin, and indicating a lack of full confidence in Austin Davis, whom they signed earlier this offseason. Hundley is still 25 years old and it's possible he still has several years ahead of him in the league, but his subpar performance as a starter last season dramatically reduced his trade value. It was not too long ago that league insiders bandied about how the Packers could potentially trade him for a high pick to a team that needed to take a chance on a new starter; instead, they had to settle for a sixth-round selection.
