quarterback Sam Darnold, who's entering the second of his three-year, $100 million contract... the next contract Darnold signs is going to be comfortably north of $50 million/year. If he plays well and Seattle is anywhere near another Super Bowl, you might be looking at $60 million.

STACKED’s take

NeutralProjection

Darnold's extension projected at $50–60M/year based on performance and playoff success.

Darnold is entering the second of his three-year, $100 million contract and faces an inevitable extension negotiation. The source projects his next deal will be comfortably north of $50 million/year unless he suffers major injury, plays poorly, or accepts Daniel Jones-tier money; if he plays well and Seattle reaches another Super Bowl, the projection rises to $60 million/year. Baker Mayfield's $165 million extension ($110M guaranteed) serves as a floor comparison point, though Darnold's Super Bowl ring may help him command a notch above Mayfield's deal.
