The Seattle Seahawks have officially signed quarterback Drew Lock to a two-year contract, which aims to serve as a backup to newly appointed starting QB Sam Darnold. This deal reunites Lock with the Seahawks after he previously played for them in the 2022-2023 NFL season. Financial details reveal that Lock's contract is valued at up to $7 million, including fixed salary, a prorated signing bonus, and performance incentives. The contract's guarantee of $2.25 million signifies the team's confidence in Lock as a competent backup.

Lock's performance in the 2024 season, where he started for the New York Giants, showcases a promising trajectory. He threw for over 1,000 yards with six touchdowns, indicating his capability to step in when needed. The Seahawks seem to be positioning themselves well for the future, especially with Lock's potential to earn bonuses if he plays a significant role in the team's success.
