Quarterback Sam Darnold has lead the Seahawks to the Super Bowl and they’re hoping their star QB can take them all the way.
Sam Darnold’s contract details: How much money does the QB make with the Seattle Seahawks?
After an impressive 2025 season, the Seahawks’ quarterback, Sam Darnold, has proven he is one of the NFL’s top passers. Darnold passed for over 4,000 yards in 2025 with 25 TDs and 14 INTs.
The fact Sam Darnold shows no bitterness towards any of the teams or people who dismissed and discarded him is a lesson on mental strength.

After a breakout season with the Minnesota Vikings in 2024, Seattle signed Darnold in March to a three-year deal.

Sam Darnold’s contract details with the Seahawks
The Seahawks, having traded Geno Smith, signed Darnold, 28, to be their starter, betting on his strong season in Minnesota despite his poor finish. For Darnold, it’s a fresh start without the pressure of McCarthy behind him; for Seattle, it’s a risky but higher-upside move aimed at staying playoff-competitive.
Still, the Seahawks showed faith, signing Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million deal with $55 million guaranteed. He’s in Seattle through the 2027 season, and he has proven he was worth the money and that he’s one of the best quarterbacks in the league. Now, he needs to beat the Patriots to get his first Super Bowl ring.
