Here’s how the national and local media, led by none other than Seahawks believer Mina Kimes, are immediately reacting to this bombshell.

The Seahawks have been rumored as a potential Sam Darnold landing spot, and now they have a clear opening for the soon-to-be free agent. The Seahawks are taking on a very new look this offseason.

Seahawks OC Klint Kubiak coached Sam Darnold so there is familiarity.
Let’s see if Seattle will be willing to give Darnold at least a three year contract, which is what he’s looking for at his next stop.
