LOSER: SEATTLE SEAHAWKS

In a vacuum, Seattle’s plan is clear. Get younger at quarterback, believe in the offensive system, and build around the third-year receiver who had an excellent second half of 2024. In practice? I’m not so sure.

Seattle traded away Geno Smith and DK Metcalf. The Smith deal brought back a third-round pick from the Las Vegas Raiders, and the Seahawks got a second-round pick from the Steelers in exchange for Metcalf. In both cases, the Seahawks got draft capital for players they were not interested in extending at the price the players were looking for. Metcalf already signed a $150-million extension, and we’re still waiting on what is expected to be a $40-$45 million per year deal for Smith with Las Vegas.

To replace Smith, the Seahawks signed Sam Darnold to a three-year, $110.5 million deal with $55 million guaranteed. That price tag is less than what had been thrown around in reports early in the offseason. It’s still a bit of a commitment from Seattle, but with just $55 million guaranteed, it’s not something that will sink the Seahawks for multiple years if it fails.

The deal does place a lot of faith in Klint Kubiak and the offensive system to both cover up the offensive line and keep Darnold from his worst tendencies under pressure. Even if that plays out to its best-case scenario, there’s still a much smaller margin for error to support the quarterback who still only finished 16th in EPA per play in 2024 despite his ideal surroundings.

The potential for this to fail feels much higher than the probability of Darnold repeating or surpassing his performance last year.

Hope we can keep him below $40 mil a year.

Well, the Seattle faithful seem to be cautiously guarded about the Darnold signing. Big risk.

Seems bleedin' odd that we have not got a new contract worked out. Would have thought that would be part of trading for him.

[RI RAIDER]

I read an article from someone (sorry I do not remember) who liked the trade. He also suggested that the Raiders should not be in a rush to give Gino a new contract. He thought they should see how he performs first. Worst case, he said we would get our pick back (comp) if he bolts. I am not advocating doing this, but I think we should be cautious with the terms we offer. Lots of rumors about the terms Gino would not agree to in Seattle (whether true or not).

Now that Darnold signed with Seattle, the Raiders will get to compare Geno and Darnold next season even more.

Over the last three years Geno ranks as #1 in on target passing percentage (Mina Kimes) and he also has the most long TD passes, not sure what yardage that covers. We should be looking to add a big WR that can stretch the field.

Might be a few sites, at least one in particular, who said Sanders comp was Geno Smith. Might even have been Todd McShay. Pure speculation on my part but I wonder if the trade had anything to do with the potential of drafting Sanders?

Personally I don't think they go QB at 6, this is just some food for thought.
