In a recent announcement, the Seattle Seahawks wasted no time making moves after the NFL draft, including the signing of quarterback Chevan Cordeiro, known for his impressive 20-touchdown season at San Jose State. Standing at 6-foot-1 and weighing 187 pounds, Cordeiro completed 61.4% of his passes for 2,773 yards in 2023, catching the attention of Seahawks fans eager to see new talent in action.
KPRC Houston’s Aaron Wilson broke the news of Cordeiro’s signing, marking a significant addition to the Seahawks’ quarterback lineup, which already includes Geno Smith and Sam Howell. Cordeiro’s journey with the Seahawks will involve competing for a roster spot, reminiscent of Holton Ahlers’ experience as an undrafted free agent in 2023.

Cordeiro’s college career showcased his potential, leading San Jose State to consecutive bowl appearances while demonstrating consistent performance with back-to-back seasons of 20 or more touchdown passes. His mobility and accuracy, especially in deep passes, make him a promising addition to the Seahawks’ roster, according to scouting reports.
In addition to Cordeiro, the Seahawks secured another promising talent in Boise State running back George Holani. With a standout season in 2022, where he recorded over 1,000 rushing yards and 10 touchdowns, Holani brings versatility and power to the Seahawks’ running back group, complementing established players like Ken Walker III and Zach Charbonnet.
Despite concerns about durability, Holani’s disciplined running style and ability to gain yards after contact make him a valuable asset, even earning praise from NFL.com’s Lance Zierlein. The Seahawks’ investment in Holani, including a substantial signing bonus and base salary guarantee, underscores their confidence in his potential impact on the team.
Additionally, the Seahawks added local talent with the signing of tight end Jake Westover, a former standout at the University of Washington. Westover’s experience and contributions to the Huskies’ success in the College Football Playoff further enhance the Seahawks’ roster depth.
As the Seahawks gear up for the upcoming season, the signings of Cordeiro, Holani, and Westover signal their commitment to strengthening the team and building a competitive lineup capable of making waves in the NFL.
