Just over a year ago, the Seahawks were the winners of the Sam Howell-sweepstakes, acquiring the former Commanders starter, a fourth-, and sixth-round pick while sending Washington a third- and fifth-rounder.

A Thursday story indicated that the Pittsburgh Steelers will not select Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe during the 2025 NFL Draft, even if “Milroe is sitting there in the third round.”  According to Sportskeeda consulting editor and NFL Draft analyst Tony Pauline, Steelers head coach Mike Tomlin may be hoping that Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders

The Seahawks have their starting quarterback of the present and (potentially) future in Sam Darnold. The team has also reunited with Drew Lock to compete for the backup gig with returnee Sam Howell.

New York Giants general manager Joe Schoen recently suggested that the club signing veterans Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston in free agency makes it not “mandatory” that the Giants have to select a quarterback such as Colorado’s Shedeur Sanders with the third pick of the 2025 NFL Draft.  During a

Since the signings of Jameis Winston and Russell Wilson in free agency, the possibility of the Giants waiting until after the No. 3 pick to add a quarterback has gained steam.
