After getting released by Minnesota at the roster cutdown deadline, there was a lot of uncertainty surrounding the next steps for Hall.
It wasn’t guaranteed that he would get another shot with a second team. But, with only two QBs on the roster, Seattle took a flyer on the former Viking.
According to reports, Minnesota did attempt to bring him back on their own practice squad but Hall chose Seattle to step in as the clear QB3.

Hall played extremely well in the 2024 preseason, leading all NFL QBs in passer rating.
In Minnesota’s second preseason game, Hall didn’t see much playing time but made the most of his snaps, throwing two touchdowns and posting a perfect quarterback rating.
The next outing was even better. He was under center for the majority of the game and completed 17 of his 25 pass attempts for 189 yards and two touchdowns.
The Seattle Seahawks kick off their 2024 season against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, September 8.
