Stability at the quarterback position is something the Seattle Seahawks have enjoyed for much of this millennium. There have certainly been times where injuries or personnel transitions have delivered sub par performances from quarterbacks, but from Matt Hasselbeck to Russell Wilson and through to Geno Smith the Seahawks have enjoyed relatively stability at the position.

However, that ended Friday when John Schneider agreed to send Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders for a Day 2 pick, opening up a giant bag of questions regarding what exactly is in store for the position for 2025. That question was answered quickly, though, as it was not long after the legal tampering period started that reports emerged the Seahawks had their guy.

Sam Darnold struggled with the New York Jets after being the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft, and has subsequently spent time with the Carolina Panthers, San Francisco 49ers and the Minnesota Vikings.

And now he’s set to become a member of the Seattle Seahawks.

UPDATE:

For those wondering how much this will cost Seattle, Field Yates has that answer.
