Aformer Seattle Seahawks quarterback is signing with the New York Giants prior to their final regular season game.
Jacob Eason — who spent time as the Seahawks’ backup quarterback during the 2021 season — is re-signing with the Giants’ practice squad, according to ESPN’s Jordan Raanan. Eason had spent a month on the Giants’ practice squad earlier in the season before being released in December.
“Giants re-sign QB Jacob Eason to the practice squad,” Raanan wrote on Thursday, January 4. “Seems like a contingency. Tyrod Taylor (back) was listed as limited on the injury report.”
Jacob Eason Has Seen Limited Playing Time During NFL Career
The 26-year-old Eason has become a journeyman quarterback early on in his NFL career. After being selected with a fourth-round draft pick during the 2020 NFL Draft by the Indianapolis Colts, Eason has bounced around from team to team.
Following his release from the Colts midway through the 2021 season, Eason landed with the Seahawks following a mid-season injury to Russell Wilson. He served in a backup role until the conclusion of the 2021 season before he was released during roster cuts prior to the start of the 2022 season.
