While the Seattle Seahawks signed quarterback Sam Darnold to a three-year deal this offseason, some around the NFL feel that it won't take long for him to lose his starting job.

“Darnold might be the biggest X-factor in the entire NFL this season. He's a massive boom-or-bust player for the Seahawks, who traded away two-time Pro Bowler Geno Smith. It's a gamble that could either net Seattle a long-term starter or place head coach Mike Macdonald and general manager John Schneider on the hot seat.”

After sitting out the opener, the Seahawks starters, including Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp, could see their first preseason action against the Chiefs.
