Sam Darnold signs with Seattle

[seattlefan75]

Its official Sam Darnold is a Seahawk apparently it was the same deal that was offered to Geno Smith and he didn't want to take it. If he can perform at all like he did last season then this is an awesome move. I didn't realize that Sam is only 27 so this gives us a good amount of stop gap time while we eventually look to acquire a rookie QB long term for the franchise.

Geno and Sam are pretty similar stats-wise from last season. Sam threw a lot more TD's though. And Darnold should come in quite a bit cheaper than Smith was going to be. This isn't a "Holy shit!" kind of signing, but I'm not mad at it. Go Sam, Go!

Yeah Darnold doesnt click into " Its all about my stats" Like Geno did in the redzone. Geno REFUSED to throw the ball away, Refused to run for first downs when he had miles of green infront of him and always wanted to "Force" the throw into the endzone no matter if the guy was covered by 3 players. Geno's redzone play was some of the WORST QB play we have ever seen on the Seahawks. I have never seen a QB SO BAD in the redzone.

Cheaper = better

He is a bridge QB and he knows it. Geno didn't want to be looked at as a bridge he wanted to be looked at as a franchise QB which he is not.

Pitt is stumbling, they get Dk but dont have a QB. Looks like they have to run with either Rodgers or Wilson. Then there is the Daniel Jones option.

Sams contract is 3 years 110.5 million with 50m GTD. So if he is paid 36.7m this season and then is released they eat a little more than 13 million in dead cap space. Thats not to bad.

$100.5M / 33M per year

Yes thats the numbers that came out 3 hours ago, less than 50 minutes ago they changed it to 110.5 million. I dont know which is the correct one and i am sure we wont 100% know till Wednesday but its also 55million GTD.


I myself would of rather had Fields for 2 years at 40 million but it's not that big a deal as both these guys are just bridges. I think Fields could have a higher ceiling though.

Without basically a whole lot of luck rebuilding the line, we've seen what Sam does with lines similar to what we have and it ain't pretty.

Not surprised, and not excited.
