Yahoo Sports NFL on Drew Lock
From the article
This shows that the Seahawks would have a legitimate shot at a 4th or even 3rd round draft pick if Drew Lock can sign for more than $20 million per year next offseason...Willis meanwhile signed this last offseason with the Miami Dolphins with an average salary of $22.5 million per year.
STACKED’s take
Lock's free agent market value likely $20M+, positioning him for 3rd-4th round comp pick.
Lock is projected to command a free agent contract in the $20+ million per year range based on his recent performance; comparable quarterback contracts include Malik Willis at $22.5 million per year (2024) and Jacoby Brissett at $15.5 million per year (2025). At 29 years old, Lock is closer in age to Willis (27) than Brissett (33), and as a true free agent he could attract a bidding war. This contract value would likely yield the Seahawks a 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick if he leaves in free agency, similar to how the Eagles received a 3rd round pick for Milton Williams ($26M/year) and the 49ers received a 4th round pick for Aaron Banks ($19.25M/year).
