Former Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold cannot rest on his laurels after joining the Seattle Seahawks in free agency.

The three-year, $100.5 million contract signed last week by new Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold is, in reality, a one-year, $37.5 million deal with a team-held option for 2026 and 2027.

The Seattle Seahawks are going in a different direction this upcoming season with Sam Darnold under center after moving over from the NFC North, and despite the big contract bump he's getting with his new team they might not be as committed to him as many originally thought.
