QB Sam Darnold signs three-year deal with Seattle Seahawks

Mar 10, 2025

Sam Darnold has agreed to terms with the Seahawks, per source.

The top free agent quarterback available, Darnold gets the three-year deal he sought and heads to Seattle after a career year in Minnesota.

Related Players: Sam Howell, J.J. McCarthy, Daniel Jones

Fantasy Impact:

Darnold gets a long(er)-term deal, but it's not the best situation fantasy-wise. With Tyler Lockett and DK Metcalf out of the building, the veteran will see a downgrade both in offensive line and receiver talent from Minnesota. Looking ahead, the Seahawks will get a guy who is seven years younger, but it would be hard to argue that Geno Smith is less talented than the journeyman.

Rams sign WR Davante Adams to two-year, $46M deal

Breaking news to start The Insiders on NFL Network: Davante Adams is joining the Rams, agreeing to terms on a 2-year, $46M deal.

Related Players: Puka Nacua, Cooper Kupp, Jordan Whittington

Fantasy Impact:

Very interesting landing spot for Adams, and all but assures that Kupp will be moving on before the start of the 2025 season. It wasn't long ago that we were completely in the air about what the Rams' offense would look like, but they brought Stafford back and made it a point to go get Adams in case they end up shipping out Kupp. Possibly a small hit to Nacua's immediate ceiling, but this landing spot keeps Adams in the WR2 conversation now that he is out of the stench of New York.

Steelers send 2025 second-round pick to Seahawks for WR DK Metcalf

The Steelers are sending a 2025 second-round pick to Seattle in exchange for WR DK Metcalf.

Pittsburgh will sign Metcalf to a five-year, $150 million extension, per source.

Related Players: Jaxon Smith-Njigba, George Pickens, Calvin Austin, Mike Williams

Fantasy Impact:

It was reported that Metcalf wanted to play "somewhere warm" with a competitive quarterback, and the Steelers have exactly zero of those things. Metcalf will battle Pickens as Pittsburgh's WR1, with Justin Fields possibly in pole position as the starting QB. Metcalf should be considered in fringe WR2/3 range.

Vikings re-signing RB Aaron Jones to two-year, $20M

Aaron Jones is back with the Vikings, sources say, getting a 2-year, $20M deal with $13M guaranteed.

Related Players: Cam Akers, Ty Chandler, C.J. Ham

Fantasy Impact:

This was probably always the best landing spot for Jones, and he re-joins a Vikings team that only has four draft picks this cycle, which could absolutely mean he comfortably has his 2024 role for another season. Push him back into low-end RB2 range.
