The Seattle Seahawks talked about writing a quarter-Arrière before you have needed it for so long that when they did, the news came as a shock. Over the years, the general manager John Schneider was still “open” to the selection of a quarter-Arrière, and would have shown a lot of interest for future superstars like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes, as well as the late flowering Sam Darnold, who has just signed an agreement of $ 100 million over three years with Seattle to be their new starting quarter.
Darnold is perhaps a solid first on the depth board at the moment, but he will have to fight several contenders to potentially take control of this role during the offseason. The veteran has drawn locking projects as a number two of the team – and the fact that they brought him back after a year with the giants shows how much they have faith in him.
That said, the real competition for Darnold arrived in the third round of the NFL 2025 draft, when the Seahawks took the quarter of the Alabama Jalen Milroe – their first choice since Russell Wilson in 2012 – not to mention the seventh round to launch the seventh round on Alex McGough.
Apparently, the Seahawks gave Darnold a head high which they planned to write a quarter-Arrière. This is what Schneider said to Rich Eisen in an interview last week, anyway H / T Pro Football Talk.
“Yeah, coach Mike Macdonald gave a warning to Sam, it was somehow in this period that descended the pike, as,” hey, it’s not for you, it is a question of acquiring an impact player, in our opinion … So, Mike spoke to Sam. I was able to communicate with Drew. And, obviously, we communicate with Sam Howell throughout the weekend. “”
Howell had been demoted instead QB3 following the signing of the DREW lock. Jalen Milroe’s editorial staff would have reduced it to the role of quarterrier n ° 4, but instead, this choice opened a path to possibly treat Howell to the Vikings of Minnesota on day 3.
For the moment, Milroe will fill this third place under Lock and Darnold.
Although Lock and Darnold are more athletic than the former Starter Geno Smith. However, there is no doubt that Milroe is the best athlete in the group.
How much time Milroe remains in this role QB3 will partly depend on how Darnold does in 2025 (Seattle can get out of his contract after only a year if it goes bad). However, the real chronology will depend on the speed with which Milroe develops the parts of her game which are still too raw to give it the starting position immediately.
Among these areas on which Milroe needs to work, there is more contact as opposed to the ZIP, a more coherent precision in the short and intermediate parts of the field and better decision -making in the pressure in the pocket.
If he can grow up in these parts of his game, the absurd speed and the power of the milroe arms will give him all the potential he needs to become a professional professional player for a day.
