Sam Darnold throws two interceptions in 7-on-7 session before media

Our Summary

In March, the Seahawks made a strategic move by trading quarterback Geno Smith and signing Sam Darnold. This decision, involving a three-year, $100.5 million deal, carries potential risks and rewards, but the team can withdraw after one year for $37.5 million if necessary. Darnold enters the offseason as the top quarterback amid pressure from rookie Jalen Milroe, a contrast to his time in Minnesota with limited competition. Despite playing well in 2024, Darnold's confidence wavered in a critical game against the Lions, contributing to a playoff loss. During a recent practice, Darnold's performance was mixed, with two interceptions. However, he recovered well after some light-hearted critique from offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak. While these early observations don't predict future game outcomes, they offer insights into Darnold's adjustment with his fifth team in eight years.
