Seems no doubt, Sam Darnold's last 2 games cost him a lot of money. How bad were they, relative to his first 17 games?

Wk's 1-17: 7th in EPA/CPOE
Wk 18-19: 34th out of 35 QBs with 25+ plays (see chart)

March 10th, 2024: Baker Mayfield signs with the Buccaneers for 3 years, $100 million with $50M guaranteed

March 10th, 2025: Sam Darnold signs with the Seahawks for 3 years, $110.5 million with $55M guaranteed

They just scaled up the Baker deal to account for cap inflation lol

Sam Darnold has agreed to terms with the Seahawks, per source.

The top free agent quarterback available, Darnold gets the three-year deal he sought and heads to Seattle after a career year in Minnesota.

Another reminder about NFL free agency: The NFL has inflation. The salary cap is up $100 million *per team* in the past 7 years. It's price shock (like buying eggs)

In 2020, the Saints signed Drew Brees for $50 million over 2 years. Today the Titans gave $50 million over 2 years to...Dan Moore Jr.

Seahawks are going to do nothing days one and two, sign Rodgers on Wednesday, and then snag up the second rate free agents. Six months from now, Schneider will say he was “in on” all the big free agents that worked out for their teams.

Rapoport said Godwin left about $20M on the table to go back to the Bucs… but don’t underestimate the fit and the grace that comes with familiarity as Chris works back from injury. And you get to stay home.

$66M contract/$44M guaranteed

The legal tampering window opens in about 15 minutes. One NFL executive said to me earlier to expect free agency to last "all of 13 seconds." Buckle in.
