The Seahawks are betting that Sam Darnold can exceed what he was in Minnesota. But it takes more than a QB to lift a trophy as blue and green confetti falls.

The Seattle Seahawks swapped one veteran quarterback for another this offseason, trading Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders before pivoting to Sam Darnold, inking the top free agent QB to a three-year deal worth $100 million.

Once the Seattle Seahawks traded quarterback Geno Smith, Sam Darnold saw his opening. The Seahawks introduced Darnold on Thursday after he signed a three-year deal he agreed to earlier in the week.
