Latest news

QB Sam Darnold signs three-year deal with Seattle Seahawks

Dianna Russini

Mar 10 · 2:30 PM EDT

Sam Darnold has agreed to terms with the Seahawks, per source.

The top free agent quarterback available, Darnold gets the three-year deal he sought and heads to Seattle after a career year in Minnesota.

Related Players: Sam Howell, J.J. McCarthy, Daniel Jones

Fantasy Impact:

Darnold gets a long(er)-term deal, but it's not the best situation fantasy-wise. With Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf out of the building, the veteran will see a downgrade both in offensive line and receiver talent from Minnesota. Looking ahead, the Seahawks will get a guy who is seven years younger, but it would be hard to argue that Geno Smith is less talented than the journeyman.

MIN QB Sam Darnold - Week 17 Fantasy Football Outlook

Week 17 vs. Green Bay Packers

It certainly wasn't expected that Sam Darnold would be a top-10 fantasy option heading into Week 17 and championship week, but that's how Darnold's season has gone. Kevin O'Connell has resurrected Darnold's career (and maybe won himself Coach of the Year honors this season). Darnold gets another shot at the Packers, a team he had a very solid outing against in Week 4. Darnold went 20-of-28 for 275 yards and three touchdowns. He has thrown for at least 230 yards in every game since Minnesota's Week 6 bye and has thrown multiple touchdowns in a game in five of the last six weeks. The Vikings have a chance at the No. 1 seed in the NFC and Darnold has been a key reason for that. He's QB7 on our board for championship week.
