The Seahawks want Tarvaris Jackson back as Russell Wilson’s backup and he reportedly would like to come back, but the Hawks apparently are not offering him enough to return.

That explains why Jackson is visiting the Miami Dolphins, who are exploring options to replace free agent Matt Moore.

If Jackson ends up signing with Miami, what would the Seahawks do?

Three options: (1) Save a roster spot by using B.J. Daniels as a utility QB/KR/WR, (2) sign a veteran, (3) draft a quarterback.

Daniels has impressed the coaches with his ability in practice to do so many things — they were so happy with his work throughout last season that they promoted him to the 53-man roster after Paul Richardson suffered a torn ACL in the playoff win over Carolina.

With Wilson being so durable, would the Hawks be willing to go with a less experienced but cheaper and more versatile backup — one who would save them money and a roster spot?

Jackson made $1.25 million last year — and surely wants at least that this year. The Dolphins apparently are looking for a cheaper option than the $4 million Moore, but will they offer Jackson more than Seattle?

The Hawks paid Daniels at 53-man rate last season just to keep him on the practice squad, and he is set to be paid $510,000 if he makes the team this year. He seems to have a good shot, as Carroll said last week that Daniels is a candidate for returning kicks.

If the Hawks liked him for his multi-purpose skills, it essentially would give them an extra roster spot for, say, a tight end or lineman.

If the Hawks are not comfortable with Daniels as the backup QB, the best veteran options to replace Jackson are Moore, Michael Vick, Matt Schaub and Jason Campbell. An underwhelming group.

That explains why the Hawks are said to be considering drafting a quarterback this year. But it’s a soft class, so we’re talking late-round pick.

Blake Sims of Alabama is a poor man’s Wilson — short and fast, with a good enough arm.

It’s always possible the Hawks pull a Christine Michael (a high luxury pick) with UCLA’s Brett Hundley, particularly if he slips to the bottom of the third round.

Jackson could make all of those options moot by re-signing; but, if he does leave, it will be a minor drama to see how the Hawks address a mostly superfluous — but still necessary — position.
