If Sam Darnold busts in Seattle, the Seahawks actually have a way to move on sooner than expected.
The former Vikings standout signed a three-year, $100.5 million deal with the Seahawks in the opening week of NFL free agency. Until Sunday, that's all that had been reported.
But contract details on OverTheCap.com, shared on Twitter by NFL reporter Ari Meirov, show that there's much more under the surface.
The Seahawks have an opt-out after one season that would leave no dead money against the cap. They could activate it at their discretion, as long as Darnold is healthy and passes a physical.
