Why It Makes Little Sense For The Seahawks To Trade Quarterback Drew Lock

With Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold returning as starter, Drew Lock returns to the backup role, prompting speculation about a potential trade. However, trading Lock is considered a risky move for a Super Bowl contender, especially with developmental backup Jalen Milroe not yet ready for regular snaps. Furthermore, Lock's expiring contract makes a rental trade unlikely to yield more than an early day-three pick, whereas letting him leave in free agency could net a 3rd or 4th round compensatory pick.
