Now that we have the full picture - the #Seahawks have a lot more financial flexibility under this current deal with Darnold than they would have if Geno Smith was extended.
The question will be: can those savings be used to build supporting cast around him to contender level?

Does the flexibility allow for them to build a team to be ready made for when the next QB comes in on a rookie deal?
This is a team problem, not an individual player problem. The next 4 months will tell if it will continue to be a problem or if they're finally going to get serious about the big fellas.
Drafting a 21 year old kid and throwing them behind the dogshit o-line the Hawks had last year is fucking dumb. Build the o-line, let Sam Darnold get shit kicked while you do, and don't bring in a rookie QB until you can keep them safe. Otherwise you're no better than the Jets or the Browns.
