The Seahawks are attempting to improve from last year's 10-7 season that resulted in them missing the postseason. They were good, not good enough. GM John Schneider and Macdonald responded accordingly this offseason, having made sweeping changes to the offense that include a new starting quarterback and offensive coordinator.

Seahawks coach Mike Macdonald offered strong support of Sam Darnold after the quarterback struggled some during the first OTA that was open to reporters.

The Seattle Seahawks have a new quarterback after signing Sam Darnold to a three-year, $100.5 million contract following his impressive 14-3 campaign with the Minnesota Vikings. However, reports from OTAs indicate Seattle's new QB1 hasn't gotten off to the hottest start.
