If something happens to Aaron Rodgers this season, it will be up to DeShone Kizer -- and not Brett Hundley -- to keep the Green Bay Packers' season afloat.
The Packers traded Hundley to the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday for a 2019 draft pick, sources told ESPN's Rob Demovsky and Adam Schefter.
For Hundley, who is in the final year of his rookie contract, he now goes from backing up Rodgers to attempting to slide into that role behind Russell Wilson. Incumbent Austin Davis and rookie seventh-round pick Alex McGough have been competing to back up Wilson, and neither has distinguished himself over the summer.
Seattle, like many teams, has typically carried just one backup quarterback, so the job appears to belong to Hundley. If McGough doesn't make the team, he would be a candidate for the practice squad.
In recent seasons, the Seahawks have either gone with a veteran as Wilson's backup (Tarvaris Jackson, Davis) or a developmental prospect (Trevone Boykin). In Hundley, they now have a backup with both long-term upside and starting experience.
Davis isn't eligible for the practice squad. He either makes the active roster or they have to cut him.
Hopefully, Austin will be able to catch on with another NFL team if/when Seattle releases him.
Davis was put on IR. Undisclosed.
