It's not an exagerration at all to say that the Seattle Seahawks' 2025 season hingest largely on the performance of new quarterback Sam Darnold. The 28-year-old Darnold earned a three-year deal worth just over $100 million from the Seahawks this offseason after completing 66.

Also, players are taking ownership of the defense, and a look at who's limited or not participating because of injury.
