Something is not quite right in Seattle and a move for Lamar Jackson might be the answer for the defending Super Bowl champions.A humbling defeat at the hands of the surging Chicago Bears on Monday Night Football did more than showcase Caleb Williams, Ben Johnson and superstar trade arrival Jeffrey Simmons to the nation.Jackson is entering the final year of his contract in BaltimoreGettySam Darnold has thrown nine interceptions in his seven games this seasongettyIt slipped the Seahawks to .500 and a fourth defeat of the 2026 season, already one more than they suffered last year on their way to a second Lombardi Trophy in franchise history.All is not quite as well at the quarterback position and the Seahawks have been urged to make a move for Lamar Jackson amidst his own contract uncertainty in Baltimore.“Lamar Jackson should get out of Baltimore if he wants to win a Super Bowl,” talkSPORT’s US Senior Reporter Brian T. Smith said the latest episode of the Inside the NFL.“A couple of very interesting teams to me that you should watch moving forward – think about Lamar Jackson with the Denver Broncos, think about Lamar Jackson with the Seattle Seahawks, with the Minnesota Vikings.“Those teams have contracts and quarterback situations that can easily be changed with salary cap money.“All of those teams can make moves if they want to and Lamar can find his way out of Baltimore and I don’t know if he ever plays for them again.“I don’t know if that’s smart for smart for Baltimore and I don’t know if that’s smart for Action Jackson.”Jackson was placed on Injured Reserve after suffering a thumb injury on the opening drive of Sunday’s defeat to the Cincinnati Bengals, so any more is unlikely to be imminent.But with contract concerns in Baltimore, and quarterback concerns in Seattle – maybe there is a mutually beneficial deal to be struck.“If they had lost to the Bills this weekend with a fully healthy Lamar Jackson, there was every chance they were gonna go that anyway, Bills are one of the best teams in the NFL,” talkSPORT’s play-by-play announcer Will Gavin agreed, admitting it’s something he could barely have conceived just a week or so ago.Darnold and the Seahawks were crowned world champions in FebruaryGettyJackson has suffered more injury disappointmentgetty“After injuring his thumb, and with everything else considered – I am not saying it’s going to happen, but suddenly I think there is a 20-25 per cent they move him, and that’s crazy high.”Seattle are not the only team who would be interested, teams with multiple and high first round picks in next year’s draft would be able to offer highliught attractive draft capital.But like Minnesota and Denver, Seattle already have a championship roster – and as Smith argues, a fluid quarterback situation.Wasted TalenttalkSPORT Senior US Reporter Brian T. Smith on judgement timeLamar Jackson has generational talent but the two-time MVP is wasting his NFL career. Injuries, bad luck and poor decisions have prevented Jackson from reaching the Super Bowl.He’s more defined by his 3-5 record in the playoffs than his career 102.7 passer rating or 36 rushing touchdowns.When Jackson should be peaking as a dual-threat NFL QB, he’s followed a high left ankle sprain with a bad-luck thumb injury. Some of that is clearly out of Jackson’s control.Yet while Patrick Mahomes has been at his Tom Brady-like best in the playoffs, Joe Burrow has already reached the Super Bowl and Drake Maye advanced to the big game in just his second year, Jackson is on the precipice of entering his 10th pro season without even touching the NFL’s greatest stage.Sam Darnold has always been a player who rises and falls with those around him, and he has yet to hit the heights that took him to a fairytale Super Bowl in Santa Clara.Super Bowl wins do not come cheap, and on top of some high profiles exits and a new offensive coordinator, record-breaking deals for receiver Jaxson Smith-Njigba and cornerback Devon Witherspoon.JSN continues to set the NFL ablaze, and is on pace to beat his tally of 1,793 yards and ten touchdowns in the regular season that won him the Offensive Player of the Year award.With 985 yards he is more than 250 yards clear of his closest rival, and Witherspoon remains a key part of the Dark Side defense that is the Seahawks identity.Without offensive guru Kubiak at the wheel has looked more like the Darnold of New York than of Minnesota, and he trails only Justin Herbert in interceptions.The 29-year-old signed a three-year, $105.5million deal in March 2025 after a stellar season with the Vikings, and the reward was instant for the Seahawks.Under the terms of the deal, Darnold is due $35.5m next year, but crucially none of it is guaranteed, giving the Seahawks a potential get out.NFL's Greatest......Ranking the top 10......Quarterbacks of all-time – Can anyone better Tom Brady?Wide receivers of all-time – Does Randy Moss or Jerry Rice come out on top?Running backs of all-time – Stacking Jim Brown, Barry Sanders, Walter Payton, Emmitt Smith and moreTight ends of all-time – How does Travis Kelce compare?It’s unlikely to be a move they would make without something special lined up – and while a top 10 draft pick looks unlikely, a move for an experienced QB is common practise for general manager John Scheider.Prior to Darnold it was Geno Smith under center in the Pacific North West, but once his performance dipped he was shipped out.Russell Wilson led the team to their first Lombardi, but once his play dropped off, he was one his way to Denver for a bounty of picks that helped lay the foundations for a second Lombardi.The Ravens quarterback is is the opposite of Darnold, often lifting the levels of his team but has struggled to stay fit handing Baltimore a fascinating dilemma.One of the best quarterbacks on his league is heading for offseason contract talks as he enters the final year of his current deal; but will his current team chose to pay him Patrick Mahomes money – or rebuild?Jackson’s contact will see him earn just over $51m for the 2027 and he carries a cap hit of $84.3m, which opens the door to an exit.“You can see where this is going,” Smith argued.“They have had contract round after contract round and it has not been pretty, it has been brutal at times, Lamar goes into hiding.“He is not represented by a top agent who can find a way to make all this work, it is set up for them to come to loggerheads and can they find a way out of it.“Do they (Baltimore) want to pay him what he think he is worth, does Lamar think he can win a Super Bowl with them? If I am Lamar I am going to Seattle, or Minnesota, or Denver – I am betting on myself and someone else is gonna pay me.”Any trade would still see the Ravens take on a huge amount of dead money, but the total would drop by almost $10m, with any team bringing Jackson in, taking on $51.24m for 2027.However for a team on the brink, it may be a gamble worth taking – an expensive one that would be risky for all parties, but it could be fun, and the rewards plentiful for all involved.Sign up for talkSPORT Stateside, the YouTube channel dedicated to passionate US Sports fans.
