The Seattle Seahawks opened the offseason with two main strikes.
They lower ties with Geno Smith, permitting him to stroll and signal elsewhere, selecting up Sam Darnold within the course of and signing him to a three-year deal.
Darnold, in fact, was coming off a banner 12 months with the Minnesota Vikings, and since they’d J.J. McCarthy ready within the wings, they’d no alternative however to let him go.
He’s now a member of the Seahawks and was seemingly a lock to be their Week 1 starter underneath middle.
Nevertheless, the Seahawks used a third-round decide on Jalen Milroe on this 12 months’s draft, main individuals to marvel if Darnold’s job isn’t so secure in any case.
Milroe appears excited to be with the workforce, however he lately had a clumsy second at a press convention, which Dov Kleiman highlighted on X.
At one level, he talked about that the Seahawks advised him he was the very best QB prospect within the draft, not less than throughout a top-30 go to, however when a reporter introduced that up, neither the GM nor their head coach agreed with the assertion.
Awkward: Jalen Milroe stated that the Seahawks advised him he was the very best QB within the draft at his 30-visit.
Seattle’s GM and Head Coach denied this throughout a press convention.

It’s not that they aren’t excited to have Milroe be part of the workforce, however it’s clear that they didn’t suppose he was the very best quarterback within the class, placing them in a tricky place.
Will probably be attention-grabbing to see if there’s any extra fallout from this, or if Milroe will make any extra public feedback on the state of affairs.
For now, he must give attention to what’s in entrance of him, which is combating for the beginning position with Darnold over the subsequent a number of weeks.
