The Seattle Seahawks are navigating a shift in their quarterback depth chart as Drew Lock returns to the team after a year away. Following the signing of Sam Darnold to replace Geno Smith as the starter, Lock’s two-year contract suggests he may secure the backup position ahead of Sam Howell. This development signals a potential exit for Howell, who struggled last season with a low completion percentage and limited game action.

The Seahawks have shown faith in Lock, likely due to his previous connection with GM John Schneider. With ten picks in the upcoming draft, Seattle's decision-making remains focused, with a chance of selecting a quarterback if the right opportunity arises.
