With Sam Darnold inked through 2027, the Seahawks don’t have a quarterback controversy, at least in regards to a starter. But Drew Lock’s return absolutely could impact the team’s draft plans as well as the roster status of other signal callers on the roster.

After spending a year away in the Meadowlands, the Seahawks have reunited with a former backup who will vie to resume that role behind Sam Darnold in his second stint with the franchise.

New quarterback, new receivers, new offensive coordinator and offensive coaching staff. That’s no problem for Mike Macdonald, whose visions for the Seahawks in 2025 remain focused on pursuing the Lombardi Trophy.

With another offseason under way and free agency officially opening on March 12, reporter Corbin Smith dishes out instant reactions and grades for each of the Seahawks free agent signings.

Though he has played his entire career in Los Angeles to this point, Cooper Kupp isn’t a stranger to building chemistry with a new quarterback, and he’s brimming with confidence as he prepares to work with Sam Darnold in a Seahawks uniform.

As a six-year starter in the NFL, Garrett Bradbury possesses experience and athletic traits that the Seahawks would love to have at the center position in Klint Kubiak’s offense. But would it be worth it to take a flier on him following his release from the Vikings?

The Seahawks handed Sam Darnold a contract that could hit triple digits in value over three years. But after reading the fine print, what is the true value of the deal and what does it mean for the franchise’s future at quarterback?

With Sam Darnold now under contract for the next three seasons, the Seahawks have at minimum a quality young bridge quarterback on the roster. Could that prevent them from drafting a signal caller again next month?

Plugging several holes in the first week of free agency, the Seahawks still have one glaring need heading towards a critical 2025 NFL Draft, but that issue could be remedied as early as Monday.

In what seemed like a blink of an eye, the Seahawks pivoted away from one Pro Bowl quarterback to another, and Sam Darnold hopes to continue his upward track by remaining a steadfast student of the game learning from his past mistakes.

Unlike a year ago, the Seahawks have prioritized signing players with previous links to their coaching staff this offseason, a trend that likely will continue as free agency progresses into the second and third phase.

Pivoting from Geno Smith to another former Jets draft pick who revived his career elsewhere, the Seahawks will be putting their eggs in the Sam Darnold basket hoping he can take the offense to the next level.

For just the second time in 14 years, the Seahawks will be entering free agency without a clear starting quarterback on the roster, and how the franchise proceeds to fill that vacancy will have critical short and long-term ramifications.

The Seahawks suddenly have a plethora of major needs on offense with the legal tampering period opening on Monday. What will John Schneider do to address those issues while also attacking the offensive line and searching for supplemental talent on defense?

Three years ago, John Schneider managed to keep the Seahawks competitive after moving on from Russell Wilson. But with a better roster in tow this time around, pressure mounts with him tasked to find a quality replacement for Geno Smith at a critical time for the franchise.

In a shocking turn of events, rather than dish out a massive extension to retain him, the Seahawks decided to turn the page at quarterback by moving Geno Smith in a blockbuster trade.
