The Seahawks’ offense is looking a whole lot different after the weekend.

ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports the team has agreed to a three-year, $110.5 million deal with Sam Darnold.

According to Schefter, the deal includes $55 million in guaranteed money.

Darnold is coming off a career year with the Minnesota Vikings, where he led them to 14 wins and earned his first career Pro Bowl nod.

He’ll look to replace Geno Smith, who was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders three days ago for a third-round draft pick.

 

The Darnold bombshell comes just a day after the team announced it’s sending star receiver DK Metcalf to the Pittsburgh Steelers for a second-round pick in this year’s draft.

The Steelers followed the trade by handing Metcalf a five-year, $150 million extension.

Pittsburgh will also flip its sixth-round pick in the draft for Seattle’s seventh-rounder as part of the deal.

It comes after Metcalf requested a trade last Wednesday as he entered the final year of his contract with the Seahawks.

The 27-year-old racked up over 6,300 yards and 48 touchdowns over his six seasons in Seattle.

 

Not to be lost in the mix were a pair of key defensive starters that are returning to the Seahawks.

The team extended linebacker Ernest Jones IV to a three-year deal worth up to $33 million yesterday.

It includes $15 million in guaranteed money.

The fifth-year veteran will stay with Seattle after helping to transform their run defense following his arrival in a midseason trade from Tennessee.

It followed news that the Seahawks gave defensive tackle Jarran Reed a three-year extension that’s worth up to $25 million.

Bad news coming out of spring training for Mariners fans.

Starting pitcher George Kirby will likely open the season on the injured list with inflammation in his throwing shoulder.

Mariners GM Justin Hollander says he doesn’t expect Kirby to be ready for the first two weeks of the season.

But he emphasized that an MRI revealed no structural damage to Kirby’s shoulder.

The 27-year-old Kirby started 33 games last season to tie for the major league lead.

It comes as the Mariners fell to the Brewers 7-5 this afternoon to drop to 6-12 in Cactus League play.

We’ll be airing a delayed broadcast of the game starting at 7:00 on KPUG.

 

Jordan Morris became the Sounders’ all-time leading scorer over the weekend.

They now improve to 1-1-1 in league play ahead of their matchup against Cruz Azul in the 2nd leg of the Champions Cup tomorrow night.

 

It was a mixed bag for the Kraken over the weekend.

Seattle beat the Philadelphia Flyers 4-1 on Saturday thanks to a goal and an assist from Matty Beniers.

But they fell to the Washington Capitals 4-2 yesterday to break even.

Alex Ovechkin scored his 886th career goal for the Capitals to move within nine goals of breaking Wayne Gretzky’s all-time NHL record.

The new-look Kraken are coming off an active trade deadline that saw them trade fan favorite Brandon Tanev, along with Yanni Gourde and Oliver Bjorkstrand for an assortment of draft picks.

 

The college basketball season is winding down for many in-state schools.

The Western Washington University men and women were both bounced from the GNAC postseason tournament and will have to wait to see if they’re able to earn a spot in the national tournament, though it stands to be unlikely after their early exits.

The University of Washington men fell to Oregon in overtime yesterday to end their first season in the Big Ten with a 13-18 record.

The Huskies women got bounced from the Big Ten tournament by Michigan last week.

The Wazzu men also got the boot from their WCC tourney at the hands of San Francisco last night.

The Gonzaga women fell to Oregon State in the WCC tourney semifinals earlier this afternoon.

Still alive are the Gonzaga men and the Washington State women.

The Cougs are currently battling Portland in the WCC tournament semifinals.
