Seahawks Sign Drew Lock as Sam Darnold's Backup for 2025 Season

The Seattle Seahawks have signed quarterback Drew Lock to back up newly acquired Sam Darnold, who had a standout season with the Minnesota Vikings last year. Lock returns to Seattle after a year with the New York Giants, where he started five games and completed 59.1% of his passes, throwing for 1,071 yards with six touchdowns and five interceptions. This move comes as the Seahawks aim to bolster their quarterback room, which also includes Sam Howell and Jaren Hall. Darnold, signed to a three-year, $100.5 million contract, is viewed as a key piece in the Seahawks' quest for a Super Bowl run. The team's offensive strategy is set to evolve under new offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak, who has extensive NFL coaching experience. As expectations rise, the Seahawks hope that their revamped roster can truly contend in the upcoming season.
