With the Seattle Seahawks contending for another Super Bowl, speculation swirls: Should the franchise trade backup quarterback Drew Lock now that Sam Darnold is set to return? Lock’s sizzling NFL stats—including a 127.3 passer rating and top-five QBR—have attracted interest from playoff-hopeful teams desperate for immediate help under center. Rival squads like the New York Giants, Pittsburgh Steelers, and Washington Commanders are weighing their own QB challenges as injuries push them toward the trade market. But with Jalen Milroe still unready for starting duties and the stakes sky-high in Seattle, even a first-round pick may not be enough to tempt the Seahawks into moving Lock. The defense packs title-winning talent, and if Lock stays hot, he may just be the insurance Seattle needs to chase history—no matter what other teams offer before the deadline.
