The Seattle Seahawks have officially hit the reset button, and they’re making it rain on their new QB, Sam Darnold, who just inked a jaw-dropping three-year contract worth $100.5 million. Yup, you heard that right. $55 million of that is guaranteed, which means the man is getting rich whether he throws touchdowns or just tosses the ball to the bench.

Darnold is riding high post-Minnesota breakout season, where he threw for 4,319 yards and had 35 touchdowns, leading the Vikings to a solid 14 wins like it was no biggie. But not too long ago, he was floundering with the Jets and the Panthers, with passer ratings that were more embarrassing than a viral fail video.

Now, in this dramatic storyline straight out of an NFL soap opera, the Seahawks are ready to say goodbye to Geno Smith, who’s off to a new adventure with the Las Vegas Raiders after the team couldn’t agree on an extension. Talk about an exit! They’re also sending star receiver D.K. Metcalf packing to Pittsburgh for a second-round pick and cutting loose Tyler Lockett. Yep, it’s a clean house in Seattle.

Fans may be wondering, what’s the grand plan? After going 10-7 last season and missing the playoffs, the Seahawks are clearly juicing up their roster to chase that Super Bowl dream again. They have just one playoff win in the last eight years, so no pressure, Sam. Just lead them out of these dark times and into the sparkling lights of championship glory.

Despite a rocky finish last season, with back-to-back games of disappointment, 27-year-old Darnold has borrowed a page from the Phoenix playbook, rising up and finally showing what he’s got after temporarily being benched in San Francisco. Seattle is crossing fingers he’s the missing piece they’ve sought after for so long because, let’s be real, this ship needs some serious steering.

In other news , yes, this team is making deals like a kid at a candy store , they recently re-signed defensive tackle Jarran Reed, just to remind everyone they can keep star players, too. Will Darnold be the key to unlocking Seattle’s Super Bowl aspirations? Time will tell, but at this point, the stakes are as high as their salary cap situation!
