Eww unless he is really cheap

 

[Shane Falco]

One things for sure, this team is going to be a lot different next season. I can't imagine paying Darnold a huge chunk either.

 

[JSeahawks]

Geno Smith 2.0. Just good enough to keep us average.

He’s one of the top free agents available. He won’t come cheap.

IMO I’d rather go with Howell and draft a qb until something hits.

This is what the NFL insiders were saying just now too

Bingo ! Dont waste money on another bridge. Use the money elswherevandvdraft a qb

I would too. And maybe sign a Mariotta to add to that.

Rumor is market for Darnold has been pretty low. Might get him for half of what Geno will be signing with Vegas.

God no

If they can get him for under 30M , I'd be ok with that. It would be good to have an experienced guy there.

 

[Sol Duc]

I hope they go with Howell...that's sets up a nice HIGH pick in 26'.

Geno has left. How many geNOs want to join the new DarNO club?

I view them as largely the same except Darnold is younger. If they get him on a reasonable contract I'm fine with it.

Do we get a cool hat ? If so I'm in. I want a rookie

Darnold is younger, so likely to be more pricy.

I don’t see Sarnold coming for $30 million per year average. Sure they could structure a deal with a lower first year hit but overall I don’t see it for that money over the whole contract.

Especially a bridge to nowhere.

I guess, but it seems like a weird move?

I mean, we aren't privy to everything that goes on and there is a decent chance that a lot of this has personal component to it.

I honestly have doubts that this was a master plan on our end and it was just a confluence of events that are forcing our hand.

What Schneider and Macdonald do from here will be interesting...

I'm ok with trading Geno -- but like, please don't replace him with Darnold. Please. Please don't.
