Sam Darnold in an opinion like Seahawks Qb Jalen Milroe appointed among the NFL recruits
Could there be quite the case of deja vu in the Northwest Pacific this offseason? In 2012, the Seattle Seahawks took a bet on the quarter-backing of the Packers in Little used Matt Flynn, signing it with a $ 26 million contract over three years. A month later in the NFL draft, Seattle used a third round choice on the Russell Wilson quarter. The latter defeated Flynn for the starting work, and the rest belongs to history. Flynn never started a match for the Pete Carroll team, and a year later, was exchanged to the raiders.
Recently, Vinny Iyer from The Sporting News has chosen a dozen recruits that could dislodge a starter entering the season. He included his list appeared the choice of third round of Seahawks in 2025 and the former quarter-rear of the University of Alabama, Jalen Milroe. This off -season, Seattle signed Sam Darnold rejuvenated, who appreciated a pro Bowl campaign with the Vikings last season.
“Milroe is the craziest card in this group.” explained Iyer: “Since the Seahawks exchanged Geno Smith and signed Sam Darnold to an agreement of $ 100.5 million over three years. Darnold wins 37.5 million dollars guaranteed for the 2025 season, which suggests that it is starting this year with the team that has a next screening.
“But there is no reason why the new staff of Offensive coaches of Klint Kubiak and Seattle will not be long on Milroe, even if it would not be designated as a competition against Darnold. Darnold has the clear edge of experience and work with Kubiak with the 49ers in 2023, but he cannot provide the athletic element with athletic traction that Milroe can.
During his last two seasons with The Crimson Tide, the talented Milroe launched for 5,676 yards and 39 affected (17 interceptions), and ran for 1,257 yards and 32 scores. Intriguing numbers, to say the least.
“It’s a long shot for the seahawks to be so open-minded to give milroe a full-fledged shot,” Added Iyer, “But there’s still a chance that milroe can manifest all of his talent to make this russell wilson-over-matt flynn all over again 13 Years later. What he can to advancing his growth as a pass, and the seahawks do see see him being anything other than a straight-up quarterback who can also be an explosive runner.
“Darnold is a much better bet to occupy the post, but he must feel a little uncomfortable on the basis of the capital of the draft that the Seahawks used on the versatile talent of Milroe.”
