Seattle Seahawks Director General John Schneider wants his franchise to return in his winning ways.
Well, Schneider believes he has taken a big step in the right direction by providing the most desired striker at the free agency, signing Sam Darnold to a three -year contract of $ 110 million, which includes $ 55 million guaranteed. The only question is left-handed by the big-term reply of the club?
Seahawks crossed from a productive signal call in Smith, tearing him up this weekend in Las Vegas Raiders, partly because Schneider did not want to invest a big money for a long way in a 34-year-old QB.
Instead, Seahawks go with Darnold, seven years younger and get acquainted with the new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak and West Coast, a running scheme based in a zone to install for Seahawks.
Kubiak was the coordinator of passing games and coach of the San Francisco 49ers 2023 striker when Darnold was a spare side dish. Darnold played and in a similar offensive system while setting up MVP caliber numbers for main coach Kevin O’Connel and Minnesota Vikings Last season.
Darnold helped lead Minnesota to a record of 14-3, throwing heights in a career of 4,319 meters and 35 Touchdown, with only 12 intercepts. Darnold also played well against Seahawks, passing 246 meters and three Touchdown in a 27-24 win in Seattl at the 16th week. But he fought strongly in the last two games of the season-what is the loss of Detroit lions with the NFC highest seed on the line and defeat, while only 53%took on.
Schneider said Seahawks wants to go back to a more balanced attack and rely more on running playing to remove pressure with QB. To do this, Seattlu will need more talented bodies in the interior of offensive lines, along with the Playmakers on the perimeter after trading the reception number 1 DK Metcalf and releasing the popular veteran Tyler Lockett.
Seahawks held two important pieces in improved defense by signing midfielder Ernest Jones and defensive accessories Jarran Reed to many years of contracts before the free agency starts. This keeps two basic defense pieces that had opposed offenses at 18.4 points in the game during the last eight games of the year – six of which are wins. Despite a total of 10-7 marks, Seattle missed the playoffs and did not win the post-season game during Smith’s three-year term.
In Darnold, Seahawks believes they have secured an upgrade in all important position. He will soon know if his re -career is real and whether he makes them a candidate. If not, they could find themselves where they were with Smith last week.
