Seahawks Waive Dee Eskridge, Release PJ Walker

The Seattle Seahawks waived wide receiver Dee Eskridge and released PJ Walker, linebacker Blake Lynch, cornerback Artie Burns and safety Marquise Blair on Tuesday. Injuries limited Eskridge to 24 games (zero starts) in his three seasons with Seattle after they took him in the second round (56th overall) out of Western Michigan. In those 24 games with the Seahawks, he had just 17 receptions (34 targets) for 122 yards and one touchdown. If the 27-year-old pass-catcher clears waivers, he could rejoin the team on their practice squad. Walker will hit the open market, which isn't surprising after the team added Sam Howell as the backup to starter Geno Smith this offseason. The 29-year-old appeared in six games (two starts) with the Cleveland Browns in 2023 and completed a career-low 48.6% of his passes for 674 yards, one TD and five interceptions.

P.J. Walker Landing With Seahawks

Veteran quarterback P.J. Walker is signing with the Seattle Seahawks, according to NFL.com. The 29-year-old spent last season with the Cleveland Browns, completing just 48.6% of his passes for 674 yards, one touchdown, and five interceptions in six game appearances. Overall, the 2017 undrafted free agent has racked up 2,135 passing yards, six passing touchdowns, six interceptions, and 80 rushing yards in 21 career games with the Browns and Carolina Panthers. With Geno Smith and Sam Howell already on the Seattle roster, Walker is likely capped at being the team's QB3 this offseason. He could become the team's emergency third quarterback in the regular season.

Browns Promote P.J. Walker To Active Roster

The Cleveland Browns signed quarterback P.J. Walker to the active roster on Tuesday. He had been on their practice squad. The move comes in conjunction with Cleveland's announcement that rookie Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) has been placed on injured reserve. Walker, who will now back up Joe Flacco, started three games for the Browns earlier this season, completing just 49.5 percent of his passes for 618 yards, one touchdown, five interceptions, and one lost fumble.

P.J. Walker Throws For 56 Yards In Relief In Week 12

Cleveland Browns quarterback P.J. Walker completed six of his 13 passes for 56 yards and lost a fumble in a 29-12 loss to the Denver Broncos in Week 12. Walker opened the game as the backup but was pressed into service after Dorian Thompson-Robinson suffered a concussion in the third quarter of the contest. The offense struggled under Walker as they were shut out after the change was made at quarterback. Cleveland is unlikely to have Thompson-Robinson back in time for a Week 13 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams, meaning it will be either Walker or the newly-signed Joe Flacco under center in that game. Stay tuned.

P.J. Walker Will Start In Week 9 If Deshaun Watson Misses Another Game

Cleveland Browns head coach Kevin Stefanski said that quarterback P.J. Walker will start in Week 9 against the Arizona Cardinals if Deshaun Watson (shoulder) misses another game. Watson is set to be limited in practice on Wednesday, but he was inactive in the Week 8 loss to the Seattle Seahawks for the third time this year after aggravating his sprained right rotator cuff in Week 7. Just because Watson is already practicing this week doesn't mean he's a lock to play on Sunday by any means. Walker, 28, has completed a career-low 49.5% of his 97 pass attempts in three games (two starts) in 2023, throwing for just 618 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions in relief of the injured Watson. It's a pretty decent matchup this weekend against Arizona, but Walker has proven to be nothing more than a desperation QB2 play in superflex leagues.

P.J. Walker Struggles In Week 8

Cleveland Browns quarterback P.J. Walker completed 15 of his 31 passes for 248 yards, one touchdown, and two interceptions while adding six rushes for 27 yards in a 24-20 loss to the Seattle Seahawks in Week 8. Walker's touchdown pass, his first of the season, went to David Njoku in the first quarter. His second interception was a back-breaking pick as the Browns had a chance to close out the road win near midfield on a third-and-three. The Browns stated on Sunday that they will continue to play it safe with Deshaun Watson's shoulder injury, so it is likely that Walker will be back out there in Week 9 to face off against the Arizona Cardinals.

P.J. Walker A QB3 In Week 8

Cleveland Browns quarterback P.J. Walker will draw the start in a Week 8 road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks. The Browns ruled Deshaun Watson (shoulder) out earlier in the week, setting Walker up for his second start in the past three games. The Seahawks have been close to average against quarterbacks in fantasy this season as they are allowing the 11th-most fantasy points per game to the position. Even though it isn't a daunting matchup, Walker has not shown much upside in the Cleveland offense this season as he's thrown for 370 yards, no touchdowns, and three interceptions in two games. He is a QB3 in fantasy for Week 8.

P.J. Walker Throws For 178 Yards In Relief In Week 7

Cleveland Browns quarterback P.J. Walker completed 15 of his 32 passes for 178 yards and an interception while adding three yards on three carries in a 39-38 win over the Indianapolis Colts in Week 7. It was Deshaun Watson, not Walker, who got the start in Week 7 but the former left the game for good after his head bounced off the turf on a big hit in the first quarter. Walker came on in relief of Watson and didn't look particularly sharp, but he did enough to lead Cleveland to a wild win in Week 7. Watson's status for a Week 8 road matchup against the Seattle Seahawks is up in the air this early in the week, but Walker would presumably be the starter if Watson can't suit up. Stay tuned.

Deshaun Watson Unlikely To Return, P.J. Walker In At Quarterback

Cleveland Browns quarterback Deshaun Watson (head) is unlikely to return to Sunday's game against the Indianapolis Colts, per Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. The 28-year-old cleared concussion protocol during the first half, but head coach Kevin Stefanski chose to exercise caution and keep him out of the game. P.J. Walker is quarterbacking Cleveland in the interim. Assuming Watson's day is done, his final line includes just one completion for five yards, plus one interception.

P.J. Walker Throws Two Interceptions In Upset Win In Week 6

Cleveland Browns quarterback P.J. Walker completed 18 of his 34 passes for 192 yards and two interceptions in a 19-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers in Week 6. Walker didn't play particularly well in place of the injured Deshaun Watson (shoulder) but he did enough to lead Cleveland to an upset win over the heavily favored 49ers. There have been conflicting reports regarding when Watson will be ready to return to the field, but there's been some hope that he will be ready to play in Week 7's road game against the Indianapolis Colts. If Watson's shoulder isn't ready to go, Walker would presumably be back under center for that game. He will not be a recommended fantasy option for that contest if he winds up starting.
