Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is unlikely to be a candidate for a contract extension this offseason since he has two years left on his current contract.
Huddle Up: Darnold is coming off a Super Bowl championship and will likely be the long-term quarterback for the Seahawks if he continues to produce. He will probably be a No. 2 quarterback in most fantasy leagues next season.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold joined Tom Brady as the only quarterbacks in NFL history to win 14 or more games in back-to-back seasons, and Darnold is the only quarterback to win 14-plus games in his first season after changing teams, accomplishing the feat for the second year in a row in 2025.
Huddle Up: While Darnold did lead the league in turnovers this season, he also topped 4,000 yards for the second year in a row and threw 25 touchdowns. He should be a reliable QB2 in 2026 with streaming potential against the right matchups.

Seattle Seahawks QB Sam Darnold (oblique) said his oblique feels really good heading into the Super Bowl. "It feels really good," Darnold said Wednesday morning. "Definitely the time off has helped a little bit. I'm always just going to take it one step at a time, do my rehab and do everything I need to do to make sure it feels great going into practice and going into the game... on Sunday."
Huddle Up: Darnold has opened eyes these playoffs and threw for 346 yards, three TDs and no INTs in the NFC Championship Game. Against Seattle's elite defense, and with a shoulder issue, Drake Maye falls behind Darnold in DFS this weekend.
