Pete Carroll loves creating a culture of competition at all positions and the quarterback position is certainly no different. Tarvaris Jackson was serviceable for the 7-9 Seahawks last year, but the Seahawks still brought in two quarterbacks to compete with him, Matt Flynn and Russell Wilson. While Flynn, who signed a 19.5 million dollar deal with 10 million guaranteed over 3 years in March, is fully expected to be the team’s starter in 2012, Carroll did say Wilson, their 3^rd round pick, was in the competition.

The Seahawks are very high on Wilson and GM John Schneider called him one of the top 3 players he scouted in the fall. I still fully expect Flynn to be the starter, but he’ll have to earn it and if Wilson has a strong training camp, he could definitely make Jackson and his 4 million dollar salary expendable as a training camp cap casualty.
