The Seattle Seahawks have agreed to sign quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year contract, according to multiple reports. The deal is reportedly worth $110.5 million deal that includes $55 million guaranteed.
Darnold is the first major quarterback of the strong 2025 veteran free agent class to sign with a new team. Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson are the other major passers that are set to sign new deals this offseason.

The Seahawks now start a new era at quarterback after trading Geno Smith last week.
Darnold will inherit an offensive supporting cast in Seattle that includes wide receivers Jaxson Smith-Njigba, DK Metcalf, running back Kenneth Walker and tight end Noah Fant. Smith utilized that talent to help Seattle finish with a 10-7 record, but just missed the playoffs.
