Seattle’s deal with QB Sam Darnold is effectively a 1-year, $37.5M contract. Seattle can move on after 2025 with no dead money, as long as Darnold passes a physical. The only guarantee Darnold has beyond this season is a $17.5M injury guarantee, per @MySportsUpdate

They don’t run the risk of him fumbling in the playoffs because they won’t make it there anyways

Shoulda just stayed with the Vikings then

Seattle been washed ever since they threw a pick at the 1 yard line

The mental gymnastics to get 1 year and $37.5M from 3 years and $100M is insane. Why bother saying the bigger amount

That Week 18 game against the Lions really cost this guy like ~$100M. Brutal

It's better to pay 1 Bazillion dollars for 1 year than to be forced to pay someone like Derek Carr for 5 years. Good contract for Seattle.

Hate this for Darnold owners. Love it for Seahawk fans.

GEQBUS IS BEING DISRESPECTED YET AGAIN 😡

nice so the guaranteed money isn't guaranteed & the 3/yr deal is really a 1/yr rental! 😄 Somebody has commitment issues in this relationship!

Ok this is acc rlly good

Ngl this is one of the best contracts I have ever seen

Are you serious? $37.5M is barely enough to cover the cost of living, especially in Seattle. We need to RAISE THE MIN. WAGE to AT LEAST $40M per year.

Old Navy FLEECE

Not possible. Hes locked for 2 more years after this. They just have the option to get out

I bet Sam wishes people didn't judge him off his time with the Jets. The Jets and Browns don't know how to develop a QB. People are sleeping on how good Darnald was last year.

Vikings doing everything but starting jj McCarthy

JJM blows

Not sure why everyone hates on this mf he’s good honestly

Good

A++ move

The best offense Michigan had the year before last was when JJ McCarthy handed the ball off.

honestly great for both sides

They have a descent power house now
