7/03/25	Darnold could revive the Seahawks. As we creep closer to the start of the NFL season, fans across the league will be clamoring to see how their team's retooled rosters will fare against the competition. One player that will be viewed under a microscope by fans this season is Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold. Darnold had been labeled a draft bust after failing to live up to the expectations of the New York Jets. After short stints with the Panthers and 49ers, Darnold signed a one-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings. Source: https://columbiabasinherald.com/news/2025/jul/03/d...
7/02/25	Seahawks rookie Jalen Milroe hilariously struggles with reaction drill. The Seattle Seahawks offense will look wildly different in 2025 with Sam Darnold taking over for Geno Smith at quarterback. Darnold had plenty of success in 2024 with the Minnesota Vikings, but there are still concerns. One of the more intriguing prospects in the class, Milroe has the tools to be a dangerous runner right away. The jury is out on whether he can become a franchise quarterback, but what we do know for sure is that Milroe isn't going to win anyone over with the flag reaction test.

6/29/25	Why one fantasy analyst is drafting Seahawks QB Sam Darnold 'whenever I can'. Most analysts seem to think that Sam Darnold can't possible replicate what he did last year with the Minnesota Vikings now that he's starting for the Seattle Seahawks. There's definitely a case that Darnold could struggle throwing behind one of the league's worst offensive lines, but the idea that Darnold will turn back into the pumpkin he was early in his career with the Jets is wildly overblown. One benefit of this misperception about Darnold and what he's capable of is that nobody is expecting him to make a big splash in fantasy football this year.

6/29/25	Sam Darnold pays great compliment to Seahawks vet Cooper Kupp. This past season was a breakthrough year for a player that was the third overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. Quarterback Sam Darnold began his career with the New York Jets, and was eventually traded to the Carolina Panthers. After spending the 2023 season with the San Francisco 49ers, he enjoyed a career-year with the playoff-bound Minnesota Vikings in 2024. Including the postseason, Kevin O'Connell's club owned a 14-4 overall record. Source: https://www.si.com/nfl/seahawks/sam-darnold-pays-g...

6/27/25	Sam Darnold competing in one of NFL's best divisions at QB position. When Sam Darnold signed with the Seattle Seahawks back in March, he knew he'd have some intense quarterback duels in the NFC West. Really, the three other quarterbacks in the division are all at least good, if not great. Matthew Stafford of the Los Angeles Rams is the obvious standout, having led his team to a Super Bowl title back in 2021 and still playing well in his late 30s. Brock Purdy of the San Francisco is fairly divisive among NFL fans and pundits, but he's at least a solid quarterback capable of leading his team far.
