Sam Darnold had his choices of where he wanted to further his NFL journey, and he explained why the Seattle Seahawks was the perfect team.

During a recent chat with Scott Thompson of Fox News Digital, Darnold touched upon his decision to join the Seahawks after they agreed to trade Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders.

However, the way the Seahawks set up the contract, the team can part ways with Darnold relatively painlessly after just one year. That Seattle spent a third-round pick on former Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe at the end of April was the exact opposite of a vote of confidence in Darnold.
