The Pittsburgh Steelers find themselves facing a pivotal decision at the quarterback position—one that could shape the franchise for years to come. For several seasons now, many have argued that the team has struggled to get it right.

However, the Seahawks are now a new team into the quarterback market, and their target seems set to be Sam Darnold. According to Dianna Russini of the Athletic, the Seahawks will pursue Darnold as one of their main targets after the Smith trade.

Sam Darnold had an epic season with the Vikings in 2024, blowing away expectations and rejuvenating his career. The question over the past few months has been whether Minnesota would pay through the nose for him to return on a long-term deal after drafting J.

The Steelers are projected to land Pro Bowl quarterback Sam Darnold in free agency to replace Russell Wilson and Justin Fields.

The Pittsburgh Steelers are looking for the best option at quarterback they can find. One name being floated is Sam Darnold.

The Vikings chose not to franchise-tag Darnold, who is coming off a career year, but Minnesota could find a way to keep the veteran QB.

Albert Breer of Sports Illustrated sees a very specific contract that Fields can garner either from the Steelers or someone else. He compared it to Sam Darnold’s one-year, $10 million from a year ago. That is what Breer believes could get it done.

It looks like money may have been a factor in Seattle’s trade of quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders on Friday, opening the way for Vikings free agent Sam Darnold to possibly end up with the Seahawks.
