One anonymous executive tells The Athletic the Seahawks landed on their feet going from Geno Smith to Sam Darnold.

The Seahawks are entering into a new era for the fourth time under general manager John Schneider, and one with veteran journeyman Sam Darnold at the helm. Seattle is gambling $37.5 million dollars that the Darnold we all saw in Minnesota last year was the real deal, and Macdonald seems to share in this belief.

Minnesota Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell talked about Sam Darnold’s leadership, growth and Darnold’s path moving forward at the NFL Annual Meeting on Tuesday.
