Seattle bound: Quarterback Brett Hundley, who started nine games for Green Bay last year, has been traded to Seattle. (AP) The Green Bay Packers have reportedly traded quarterback Brett Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks. The move likely clears up the backup quarterback spot for both teams. What’s the trade? NFL Network says Seattle is sending a sixth-round draft pick in 2019 to Green Bay. Hundley, a fifth-round pick in 2015, started nine games for the Packers last season due to a broken collarbone for Aaron Rodgers. Green Bay was 3-6 in those games, with Hundley completing 60.8 percent of his passes with nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions. Why did Seattle trade for Hundley? Because while Packers fans might not speak highly of Hundley, he’s probably better than either of the quarterbacks the Seahawks had behind Russell Wilson when Wednesday began. Seattle had reportedly been looking for other options for a No. 2 quarterback. Seattle has journeyman Austin Davis and rookie seventh-round pick Alex McGough on the depth chart. Who is Green Bay’s backup? The Packers’ backup quarterback is now DeShone Kizer. The 52nd pick in 2017 by the Cleveland Browns, Cleveland traded Kizer to Green Bay in March for safety Damarious Randall and a swap of mid-round draft picks. Kizer struggled in his starts with the Browns, and coach Hue Jackson didn’t hold back his criticism, which came frequently and with cameras rolling. Hopefully new surroundings have helped Kizer, who clearly wasn’t supported with Cleveland.

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.

The Packers and Seahawks will play each other in Week 11 on Thursday, Nov. 15 in Seattle.<doc-sep>The Seahawks added to the competition at quarterback just before the start of the season, acquiring Brett Hundley in a trade with the Green Bay Packers for an undisclosed 2019 draft pick. Hundley, 25, was a 2015 fifth-round pick out of UCLA, where he established school records for touchdowns passes (75), total touchdowns (105), and total offense (11,713 yards) in just three seasons. After playing sparingly his first two seasons in Green Bay, Hundley took over the starting role last season when Aaron Rodgers went down with a broken collar bone. Hundley started nine games in place of Rodgers, and finished the year completing 192 of 316 passes for 1,836 yards, 9 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, giving him a 70.6 passer rating. Hundley also rushed for 270 yards and two touchdowns on 36 carries. Prior to this trade, Austin Davis, last year's backup, and Alex McGough, a seventh-round pick in this year's draft, had been competing for the backup job behind Seahawks starter Russell Wilson.<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.<doc-sep>
Ben Margot/Associated Press The Green Bay Packers reportedly agreed to trade quarterback Brett Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks for a 2019 draft pick Wednesday, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter and Rob Demovsky. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport reported the pick involved in the trade is a sixth-rounder. In the wake of the deal, former Cleveland Browns signal-caller DeShone Kizer will serve as Aaron Rodgers' backup in Green Bay. Since Rodgers missed significant time with a broken collarbone last season, Hundley started nine games for the Packers in 2017. Hundley went 3-6 and completed 60.8 percent of his passes for 1,836 yards, nine touchdowns and 12 interceptions. He also rushed for 270 yards and two scores. Green Bay originally selected the 25-year-old in the fifth round of the 2015 NFL draft out of UCLA. Hundley will join a quarterback room in Seattle that already includes starter Russell Wilson, veteran backup Austin Davis and rookie seventh-round pick Alex McGough. In three preseason appearances, Hundley has thrown for 263 yards, one touchdown and one interception. He's also rushed for 17 yards and one touchdown.

While Kizer has struggled with his accuracy during the preseason (50.9 percent), his numbers have been solid overall with 403 yards, two touchdowns and no interceptions. As a rookie second-round pick last season, Kizer started 15 games for the Browns, going 0-15. He completed 53.6 percent of his passes for 2,894 yards, 11 touchdowns and a league-worst 22 interceptions. The Notre Dame product did rush for 419 yards and five scores, however. Trading Hundley likely means the Packers will keep only one quarterback behind Rodgers, which will give them more roster flexibility elsewhere. Meanwhile, the Seahawks now have a backup with extensive, recent starting experience who can step in should an injury befall Wilson.
