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. In fact, that does not imply the previous New York Jets draft decide will not receives a commission. He’ll simply have to attend like all people else.
Even so, the Seahawks will make him well worth the whereas. In keeping with NFL Community insider Daniel Jeremiah, he is greater than $50 million per 12 months in his new contract.
The Seahawks could overpay for Sam Darnold
“I feel he’s heading in that path,” Jeremiah told “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 12 months that approaches what he did final 12 months, I’d say he’s going to land in that ballpark.”
Jeremiah admitted that the deal would in all probability be a bit too rich for Darnold. Nevertheless, 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 powerful 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 just a little extra comfy due to who he’s and the way he’s considered,'” added Jeremiah.
Darnold was at all times seen because the Seahawks’ weakest hyperlink, however he delivered when it mattered essentially the most. He did not flip the ball over within the playoffs, was poised and answerable for the offense and made large performs when wanted.
Now, he’ll need to show that final 12 months’s success wasn’t a fluke and earn that new deal, which could be much more troublesome than profitable the Tremendous Bowl within the first place.
