The Seattle Seahawks find themselves in an interesting quarterback conundrum. With Sam Darnold firmly holding the starting spot, the team has a surplus at the QB position, featuring promising talents like Jalen Milroe. While having depth is always a plus, the Seahawks might be considering a move to maximize their assets.
Miami Dolphins' situation with Tua Tagovailoa is creating ripples across the league. Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan mentioned that "everything's on the table" for Tagovailoa, sparking speculation about potential trades. While Tua isn't heading to Seattle, his situation could indirectly impact the Seahawks.
Enter Jalen Milroe. Drafted in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft, Milroe was part of the deal that sent Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders.
With Darnold thriving and under contract until 2027, Milroe's chances of seeing the field in Seattle are slim. This opens the door for potential trade discussions, and Miami might just be interested.
The proposed trade scenario involves sending Milroe to the Dolphins in exchange for a third-round draft pick. Seattle, currently holding only four picks for 2026, could benefit greatly from an additional selection. John Schneider, known for building through the draft, would likely welcome the extra draft capital.
Despite the trade talk, this isn't about giving up on Milroe. He's shown the potential to develop into a solid NFL quarterback, but with Darnold performing well, Milroe's best opportunity might lie elsewhere. Miami could be a great fit, providing him a fresh start and helping the Dolphins reset their culture.
Interestingly, if Miami were to acquire Milroe, they'd be swapping one former Alabama quarterback for another. This move could stir the pot for current Dolphins QBs Quinn Ewers and Zach Wilson, adding another layer of intrigue to the situation.
