Seattle Seahawks normal supervisor John Schneider has a method of doing enterprise, and he will not change it in any case these years.
The Seahawks do not give contract extensions early, and he will not make an exception, not even for Sam Darnold after a Tremendous Bowl-winning season. After all, that does not imply the previous New York Jets draft choose will not receives a commission. He’ll simply have to attend like everyone else.
Even so, the Seahawks will make him well worth the whereas. In line with NFL Community insider Daniel Jeremiah, he is greater than $50 million per yr in his new contract.
The Seahawks might overpay for Sam Darnold
“I feel he’s heading in that path,” Jeremiah advised “Brock and Salk” on Seattle Sports activities Radio. “If [the Seahawks are] going to stay to their weapons on their coverage and he comes out and has a yr that approaches what he did final yr, I might say he’s going to land in that ballpark.”
Jeremiah admitted that the deal would in all probability be a bit too wealthy for Darnold. Nonetheless, he is earned the advantage of the doubt, to not point out that he is been a optimistic addition to the locker room and a robust chief for the group.
“I feel he’s additionally going to get the advantage of who he’s as an individual. It’s like, ‘OK, I don’t really feel tremendous comfy paying this, however he’s going to permit me to really feel a little bit extra comfy due to who he’s and the way he’s considered,'” added Jeremiah.
Darnold was all the time seen because the Seahawks’ weakest hyperlink, however he delivered when it mattered probably the most. He did not flip the ball over within the playoffs, was poised and accountable for the offense and made large performs when wanted.
Now, he’ll should show that final yr’s success wasn’t a fluke and earn that new deal, which may be much more troublesome than profitable the Tremendous Bowl within the first place.
