The Seahawks have their new QB: It’s Sam Darnold. The former Vikings starter is finalizing a deal with Seattle, per The Insiders. He gets a 3-years deal worth nearly $100M, taking the place of Geno Smith. Darnold has been the favorite ever since the trade.

      The year they won the SB, they topped the league in O-Line spending. The next year, as contracts ran out or were otherwise shed, they dropped to 6th but made the SB again.

      From the 2015 season through 2024, they’ve only been in the top half of the league once (barely, 2017, ranking 16th) while winning three playoff games total over those 10 years.

      They’ve lived the success and the failure of a team-building theory, but refuse to learn the obvious lesson. Insanity.

        I mean if they wanted a tank commander they could’ve signed far cheaper than Darnold. I have no idea what they think they’re trying to do… Are they selling off for a rebuild, or are they buying in to win now? They can’t do both.
