Seahawks Head Coach Shares Chances of Jalen Milroe Starting Next Season: Roll Call, June 5, 2025

The Seattle Seahawks made a few changes at quarterback this offseason as they traded away starter Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders and also signed free agent Sam Darnold three days later as a replacement.

Additionally, the Seahawks selected Alabama quarterback Jalen Milroe with the 92nd overall pick in April.

ESPN reported on May 15 that "Seattle envisions Milroe playing a few plays per game in packages that will take advantage of his running ability." However, Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald assured that Darnold, the former Minnesota Vikings gunslinger who was the 2024 NFL Most Improved Player of the Year, firmly has the QB1 spot in his hands.

No, you guys are crazy, Macdonald said on Tuesday when asked if any other Seahawks quarterback can become the Week 1 starter.

I respect that youve got to ask it, but its just a crazy question.

Its just not going to happen.

Sams our starting quarterback.

We love him.

Hes doing a tremendous job.

I think its funny that the media is out there for the first day, and all of a sudden, they know exactly how good were going to be and how good all the players are, all the tempos.

We havent even put on pads yet.

We havent made one tackle." Barring an injury to Darnold, it looks like Milroe, along with Drew Lock, will act as backups throughout next season.

That said, Milroe stated before the draft that he's more than comfortable with being in this position.
