Sam Darnold struggled in the playoffs, resulting in his transfer to the Seattle Seahawks after the Vikings' early exit from the playoffs. His inability to connect with key offensive players was a significant factor in the Vikings' loss.

Sam Darnold, signed by the Seahawks, brings a chance for a fresh start as he competes for the starting quarterback position, providing an intriguing dynamic in Seattle.

Darnold's presence as a veteran quarterback in Seattle provides a valuable learning experience for Milroe, allowing him to develop without the immediate pressure of starting.

The Seahawks signed Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract, indicating a significant commitment to their starting quarterback position. Darnold is expected to lead the team this season, with the flexibility in his contract allowing the team to pivot if needed.

Darnold, having just signed a hefty contract, is feeling the heat from rookie Jalen Milroe, who presents a dual-threat capability that could challenge Darnold's starting role in Seattle.
