Yeah it's the one good season and the price to pay and the term they give him as a UFA. Howell as the backup. Vikings had a good team with solid offensive peices to help Darnold succeed and play the system. Seattle doesn't have those same peices.

Geno has been fine, and would be better than Darnold IMO (more dynamic) but again, they want to go to a more run based offense, so...?

Related, not liking the direction under McDonald. Defense was the problem last year more than offense, and for a defensive coach you'd assume that should be priority, last year and this, but seems to be worried more about changing the offense up.

Word is Seattle wanted to trade Metcalf and Smith for Crosby earlier this week.

Just two days ago Schneider was saying that Geno was their guy but it sounds like he was asking for a lot more money than the Seahawks were willing to pay.

But looking at the reaction of the Seattle media they're not thrilled with the idea of Darnold either.

They had to have a succession plan for Geno regardless, and yeah he's been a pretty decent statistical QB the last 3 seasons, so someone may pay him well next year.

Darnold is just far too risky to commit long terms and big money too, as far as making a big impact so that Seattle can win more than 1 playoff game (or less) per year, a streak that's been going a decade.

Drafting a top QB would be a better (and risky) idea along with Howell.
Or maybe history repeats and Darnold is Matt Flynn and some 3rd round drafted QB steps in during the exhibition season and wins the job over the guy they paid and committed to, to be the QB.

But McDonald seems very conservative, you figure Schneider needs to have some say here too, as he did with PC.

Maybe he can go to the same prison as Andy Reids dirtbag son, can coach him up for when he gets released.

proud tradition indeed. You're not a real Chiefs receiver without a mugshot.

Maybe he's not really a Chiefs calibre WR?

^Oh it'll be a battle no doubt. You got the Jets, Giants right there, you got the Saints and Colts who could be pretty bad. You got sleepers like the Jags and Panthers out there if they fall apart. But Seattle has had a great week to get their tank command going. Gutting the roster further and signing Darnold to an easy out contract might be the last steps to a 2-15 season.

Metcalf also signed a 5/150M extension. Devante Adams to the Rams 2/46M deal.
