A new era in Seattle Seahawks football begins on Saturday when

none other than Russell Wilson will be on center to start the season for the first time since 2012.

Of course, Wilson was traded in March for draft picks and other

source-tenor

players to the Denver Broncos. One of those players is quarterback

source-tenor

Drew Locke, who joins fellow call-up Geno Smith on the current

source-tenor

roster. Smith has been supporting Wilson since 2019.

Seahawks coach Pete Carroll named the team's starter for the

source-tenor

preseason game, choosing the 31-year-old veteran Smith over the

source-tenor

25-year-old Locke. Smith and Locke have been battling for a starting

source-tenor

role since the start of the off-season, with Smith having a slim lead throughout the training camp.
