Sam Darnold Contract and Bryce

[ECHornet]

Here’s the contract Sam Darnold signed with the Seahawks:

With little guaranteed money beyond 2025 and a team-friendly bonus structure, the Seahawks have a franchise QB and can afford to surround him with talent. This should be the basis for discussions with Bryce if we decide to extend him beyond the 5th year option. 
 

Bryce hasn’t approached a season like Darnold has put up in his last two. I still want Bryce to be our QB of the future, but $30mil should be the drop zone. If the Seahawks can get Darnold and go to the Super Bowl for $33.5mil, then Dan & Co can use that as leverage when the time comes.

Young should get no where near that. Hell, as of this moment he shouldn’t get any contract. The option is even debatable, but makes sense in some ways.

Facts... at the moment... he should at max be 15 to 20. Sam had to go through a bunch of 1 year deals to get to that 33 but he's earned it. He put up stats consistently. This is Bryces year to put up or shut up. If the team gets improved around him... and he starts out like the last 3 years, it's time to definitely  move on. Hopefully  we do bring in another Qb to keep that room honest

33 million per extension for Bryce Young makes me nauseas.

Btw, Morgan says he wants the Qb that's added to be able to move around. Makes me wonder bc vet wise, Malik Willis  is the 1st one who pops in my mind. Random...

Agreed. Y4 is make Or break for him. No way we give a long term contract for $30M much less $50M a year without seeing more.

True but being they are picking up the 5th year...  they're giving him 1 last shot

Giving is the correct term since god knows he hasn’t earned it.

You underestimate the stupidity of our owner. Bryce shouldn't have got the 5th year but he did. He hasn't had back to back franchise QB level game performances ever. Our franchise is being built on hope and a determined owner who will not admit he made the wrong choice.

I begrudgingly accept the 5th year option only because the 5th year is not guaranteed.  We can get out after next year if he doesn’t throw down. 
History says he will not demonstrate his worthiness most of the year and then near the end he will somehow do just enough to keep the flame burning.  I feel like we are really and truly stuck.
