Howell, who made just one appearance in relief for the Seahawks last season, is signed through 2025, per Spotrac. Darnold meanwhile cashed in on his breakout 2024 campaign with the Minnesota Vikings with a three-year deal that could keep him in Seattle through 2027.

The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back a familiar face to their quarterback room, as NFL Media reports the team is signing Drew Lock to back up Sam Darnold. Lock spent last year with the New York Giants, and went 1-4 as a starter while completing 59.1% of his passes for 1,071 yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions in eight total games played.

The Seattle Seahawks are not done making free agent moves at the quarterback position, it seems. They found their starter in Sam Darnold earlier this offseason, and now they've added a familiar face into the mix. According to reports from NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Seahawks have signed quarterback Drew Lock.
