The Seahawks released Walker on Tuesday, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker never seemed like a true candidate to beat out Sam Howell for the No. 2 role behind Geno Smith, but he could resurface on Seattle's practice squad as the team's emergency third quarterback. The veteran signal-caller appeared in six games for the Browns last season.

The Seahawks are slated to sign Walker to a contract, Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker gives Seattle a necessary third quarterback on the depth chart in advance of training camp. He'll now have an opportunity to compete for the No. 3 job behind Geno Smith and Sam Howell. Walker is among the league's more experienced depth options, as he suited up for 21 regular-season games from 2020-23.

Walker was active but did not play in Saturday's 45-14 wild-card playoff loss to the Texans.
EDGE Analysis
Walker had a brief run as the Browns' primary quarterback earlier this season but was relieved of those duties after throwing five interceptions (one touchdown) in three starts. He served as the primary backup to Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) until the team resurrected Joe Flacco for the final stretch of the season. He enters the offseason as an unrestricted free agent.

Cleveland signed Walker on Tuesday.
EDGE Analysis
In a corresponding move, the Browns placed Dorian Thompson-Robinson (hip) on their injured reserve list Tuesday. Per Chris Easterling of the Akron Beacon Journal, Walker is now set to back up Joe Flacco on Thursday versus the Jets. Over six games with Cleveland earlier this season, Walker posted a mediocre 6.1 yards per pass attempt and threw just one touchdown to five interceptions.

Walker signed with the Browns' practice squad Monday, Brad Stainbrook of 247Sports.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was the odd man out in Cleveland's quarterback room when Joe Flacco was brought aboard and ended up being waived Saturday. He'll now return to the organization and help the team's organizational depth at the position.

The Browns waived Walker on Saturday, Kelsey Russo of the Browns' official site reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker was behind both Joe Flacco and Dorian Thompson-Robinson on Cleveland's depth chart, and he hadn't started a game in almost six weeks. The 28-year-old quarterback appeared in six games for the Browns this season, throwing for 674 yards, one touchdown and five interceptions.

Head coach Kevin Stefanski said Wednesday that Walker has been surpassed by Joe Flacco on Cleveland's quarterback depth chart, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Walker struggled in relief in Week 12 against the Broncos after starter Dorian Thompson-Robinson left the 29-12 loss early due to a concussion. Thompson-Robinson remains in concussion protocol, and even if he isn't cleared in time to play Sunday against the Rams, Flacco would get the start, with Walker backing up the 38-year-old. Flacco will presumably be elevated from the practice squad prior to Sunday, regardless of Thompson-Robinson's status.

Walker replaced Dorian Thompson-Robinson (concussion) in the third quarter of Sunday's 29-12 loss to the Broncos and completed six of 13 passes for 56 yards. He also committed two fumbles, losing one, and was sacked in the end zone for a safety.
EDGE Analysis
It was a poor day overall for Cleveland quarterbacks, as the duo of Thompson-Robinson and Walker combined for a 47.6 percent completion rate, a 4.5 YPA and just 190 total passing yards. The 28-year-old former Panther has seen significant action in four games this season, managing only one TD pass while committing seven turnovers, but if Thompson-Robinson isn't able to clear the league's concussion protocol by next Sunday, Walker will be the Browns' only option under center in Week 13 against the Rams.

Walker will not start Sunday's game against Pittsburgh, with the Browns instead turning to Dorian Thompson-Robinson after Deshaun Watson (shoulder) was ruled out for the season, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com reports.
EDGE Analysis
Thompson-Robinson got the first start when Watson missed time earlier this season, but the Browns quickly turned to Walker after the rookie tossed three interceptions in a 28-3 loss to the Ravens in Week 4. The veteran wasn't much better in the following weeks, continuing the trend of frequent interceptions (five in three starts) even as the Browns won two of his three outings. Walker offers mobility and arm strength but not much else, having thrown six TD passes and 16 picks on 326 career attempts (54.9 percent completions, 6.4 YPA). It's nonetheless possible he makes more starts before the end of the year, given that Thompson-Robinson looked unready for the NFL the last time we saw him.

The Browns could turn to Dorian Thompson-Robinson rather than Walker to serve as their starting quarterback Sunday against the Steelers after the team announced Wednesday that Deshaun Watson will undergo season-ending shoulder injury, Mary Kay Cabot of The Cleveland Plain Dealer reports.
EDGE Analysis
Head coach Kevin Stefanski could shed more light on the Browns' plans at quarterback when he meets with the media later Wednesday, but it appears as though Walker -- who had been operating as Watson's backup for the past two games and made two starts earlier this season -- may give way to Thompson-Robinson this weekend. Meanwhile, Jake Trotter of ESPN.com relays that the Cleveland is expected to look into signing another quarterback in the coming days to provide the team with a third option at the position. In his two starts plus three relief appearances behind Watson this season, Walker has thrown for one touchdown against five interceptions while completing just 48 of 98 pass attempts for 618 yards.
