This means that instead of sitting on the injured reserve all year, Turbin can wait until his settlement time period is over (likely five weeks, plus another six per NFL rules) and return to a team (perhaps the Seahawks) late in the season. He'll be a free agent in 2016.

The Seahawks lost to the Patriots on the final play, did Belichick know what was coming because of an unfair advantage? And if he did, does it even matter?
Seahawks lost four on the waiver wire already- TY McGill to Colts, Obum Gwachum to Saints, Keenan Lambert to Raiders, and Ronald Martin to Jets.
In my opinion, this is just due diligence by Seattle to make sure all options are being covered. I do not think they will trade him, but, we shall see.
