Browning, a former Washington Huskies quarterback, signed with the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2019; his first real game action came in 2023 with the Bengals, where he started seven games in place of injured Joe Burrow, going 4-3 and completing 70.4% of his passes for 1,936 yards, 12 touchdowns and 7 interceptions. However, since then Browning has not replicated the 2023 season; last season when Burrow got hurt again, Browning struggled mightily, leading the Bengals to trade for Joe Flacco and position Browning on the outs. Browning signed with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this offseason but did not make the roster and is currently a free agent. The Seahawks could look to bring Browning back to the Pacific Northwest on the practice squad; despite a lackluster last few years, Browning has real game experience and could be a backup option to Lock.

Browning got absolutely destroyed in preseason week 2, taking a practically uncontested sack on his second dropback that left him laid out and sent him into concussion protocol (which he cleared). He received another massive hit later in the game that created a forced fumble. The source notes he didn't look polished or precise enough to tamp down mounting hype surrounding Daniels, and the fact he's having to answer questions about a quarterback competition when he signed a $1.3 million contract with $400k guaranteed says something. He will need to look good against Jacksonville in joint practices and game action to inspire more confidence.

He received another massive hit later in the game that created a forced fumble. He didn't look polished or precise enough to tamp down mounting hype surrounding Jalon Daniels, and the fact that he's having to answer questions about a quarterback competition despite signing a $1.3 million contract with $400k guaranteed is telling. He will need to look good against Jacksonville in joint practices and game action to inspire more confidence.
