Seattle Seahawks star quarterback Sam Darnold is deserving of every penny that he will make on his next contract.
The question that surrounds Darnold this offseason is whether or not he will get a lucrative contract extension from the Seahawks after leading Seattle to a Super Bowl victory at the end of last season. Darnold played like one of the best quarterbacks in the NFL in 2026, but an extension is a situation that has the potential to take a long time to work out.
According to ESPN’s Dan Graziano, the question that the Seahawks will need to answer in 2026 regarding their quarterback room is whether or not Darnold will receive a big contract extension in the near future.
“I'd still be surprised if the Seahawks made any changes to Darnold's deal before this season starts,” Graziano said. “But assuming it goes well again (and no, they don't have to win the Super Bowl for that to happen), it's possible they end up talking extension with him next spring,” Graziano said. “Darnold just turned 29 last Friday, so he could have a lot of good football still ahead of him.”
Darnold is approaching the second year of his three-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seahawks. The USC product warrants a major re-up in the event that the front office desires to keep him in Seattle beyond the length of his current contract. Darnold has reached his potential in the NFL after an up-and-down start to his career, and all signs point toward him continuing at the elite level of play he’s played at for years to come, which will warrant a major payday in the near future.
