Dan Graziano’s ESPN article is broken down by Seahawks Today host Will Ortner, and he explains why Sam Darnold’s contract is fair for the Seattle Seahawks organization.

But that would have gone against the very principles that, they believe, helped them build a Super Bowl champion roster. Championships are validation. If anything, winning it all helped convince Seattle that it was handling the quarterback business the right way all along.” Dan Graziano on Sam Darnold: “The short answer is that they believe he's already appropriately compensated. Darnold has two years left on his contract. He's scheduled to earn $27.5 million in 2026 and $35.5 million in 2027. And while there are 14 quarterbacks who average more annual salary than Darnold and didn't just win the Super Bowl, this is about the way the Seahawks view the position and its place in roster building and salary cap management.” Follow Seahawks Today on Facebook for all the latest Seattle Seahawks news and rumors: https://www.facebook.com/ChatSportsSEA We deliver our Seahawks coverage on more than just YouTube...head to our @chatsports website for more Seattle Seahawks news and rumors: https://www.chatsports.com/seattle-seahawks The rest of Sam Darnold’s contract with the Seattle Seahawks: - 2026: $27.50 MM - 2027: $35.50 MM Hit the Noti Bell 🔔 so you never miss any Seattle Seahawks news in the 2026 NFL offseason!
