The Seattle Seahawks have re-signed veteran QB Austin Davis to compete for the backup spot behind Russell Wilson. Davis played three games for the Seahawks last season but did not attempt a pass. (Mike Garafolo via Twitter )

The Seahawks are re-signing QB Austin Davis, source says. He spent last season as Russell Wilson’s backup. Davis will get the veteran minimum deal. I’m told this won’t end the team’s talks with Colin Kaepernick. Still in a holding pattern but not done.

Fantasy Impact:

Davis should be the front-runner over Stephen Morris for No. 2 duties in Seattle but it won't preclude the club from signing or drafting competition. Davis played for the Rams in 2013 and Browns the next season, totaling 2,548 passing yards and compiling a 13-to-12 touchdown-to-interception ratio. Davis entering the lineup would be a disaster for the Seattle offense.
