The Seattle Seahawks have made significant changes to their quarterback lineup this offseason, including trading Geno Smith and signing Sam Darnold to a lucrative contract. Drew Lock has also joined the team, signing a one-year deal to serve as Darnold's backup. Despite the presence of Sam Howell and Jaren Hall on the roster, the Seahawks have explored potential quarterback prospects in the 2025 NFL draft, such as Jalen Milroe and Tyler Shough. General manager John Schneider stated that signing Lock does not rule out the possibility of drafting a quarterback.
Schneider expressed enthusiasm about the competition between Sam Howell and Drew Lock for the backup position, highlighting the team's depth at the quarterback position. With five picks in the top 100 and Darnold's contract not fully guaranteed, the Seahawks remain open to selecting a quarterback in the draft if the right opportunity arises. Their interest in this year's quarterback class signals a strategic approach to bolstering their roster.
