00:00A ton of sweeping changes with the Seahawks.
00:02They trade away Geno Smith on Friday to Las Vegas.
00:05They trade away DK Metcalf to your Steelers on Sunday evening
00:09and then sign the top quarterback in the free agency market
00:12for a deal worth about 33 and a half million dollars per year.
00:16How would you grade the move to bring Sam to Seattle?
00:21I do like it.
00:22What's interesting to me about it is that apparently Geno
00:26Smith was offered a very similar deal to stay in Seattle
00:29and he turned it down and they traded him to Las Vegas.
00:33Will he receive another deal like that from Las Vegas or
00:35anybody else that remains to be seen?
00:37I think the one thing about Darnold that people still have
00:41a hard time realizing that he's only 27 years old.
00:45So he's not a 30 year old quarterback retread.
00:48Yes.
00:48He's had a very unique start to his career.
00:52This is I think his fifth different team.
00:55It might be six but nonetheless Sam Darnold gets an opportunity
00:59to start there.
01:01I think it's very clear that they moved on from veteran
01:04receivers and now Jackson Smith and Jigba will be somebody
01:07to target in your fantasy leagues.
01:09He's the number one receiver.
01:11He is a potentially future star in this league and we've seen
01:14glimpses of it.
01:16They have relied somewhat heavily on the run game in the past.
01:21Do they move to a little bit more up-tempo now?
01:24Kubiak their offensive coordinator and Darnold work together
01:28in San Francisco.
01:29That's part of the reason for this marriage should be more
01:32comfortable for Darnold, but they're going to have to protect
01:35him.
01:35He's not somebody that works well under pressure.
01:37So I have I have a hard time seeing where the Seattle Seahawks
01:42have success right away, but I do like the signing.
01:45I think it provides stability at the quarterback position.
