The Seattle Seahawks have signed Austin Davis, which effectively rules them out as a destination for Colin Kaepernick.

Davis will join Trevone Boykin as a backup option behind Russell Wilson. The team waived quarterback Jake Heaps.

Pete Carroll praised Kaepernick last week but indicated that the team had no plans to sign him.

Davis spent time last season with the Denver Broncos. He hasn't played in a game since 2015, when he made two starts for the Cleveland Browns.
