Summary

We're nearing a full week after both Sam Darnold and Cooper Kupp were in Seattle to sign their new contracts. Yet we're still waiting on a lot of key details. The only details missing from the Darnold contract are essentially how many void years may be part of the deal. We talk about the evidence that we'll likely see two years and how it could impact the cap numbers. There is a lot unknown about the Kupp contract, so there is a lot more speculation there and where the guarantees could like to where it could be favorable for both the Seahawks and for Kupp. Plus, we take a look at who is left in the guard market as we close in on the 2025 NFL Draft.

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to the Seahawkers podcast.
0:09.8	I'm Brandon Schultz, and today I am joined by my good buddy Clinton Bonner.
0:15.4	As Clinton, our other good buddy, Adam Emmer, is on the road doing some work.
0:19.3	But we are here and we are going to be
0:21.7	talking some contracts, talking about Guard Watch 2025. How are you doing, man?
0:27.4	I'm doing pretty well. Doing okay. My Yukon Huskies took the L today to the Florida. The Gators,
0:34.5	the Gators took us down. Hard fought game was a one versus an eight.
0:38.4	UF was the one.
0:40.3	Yukon played well, played a lot of tenacity.
0:42.8	A little bit short, so I'm a little bummed about that.
0:45.6	But Brandon, after we record this, I am going to a concert.
0:49.3	And I got free tickets as of last night to go see Nathania or Ratliff in the night sweats.
1:10.9	They're amazing. So sober, yin, raging gang, brethren, I'm fired up and we're here to talk. Seahawks. We are on Guard Watch. And you, my friend, you did some, the digging that you could do into the Donald and Cup contract to kind of find out as much information as we know.. And I think also like what are the big blank spaces we still don't know.
1:14.4	Is that about right?
1:15.3	Yeah.
1:15.6	Well, I've, I've been struggling because to this point, I don't know, I guess a week
1:20.7	out from free agency, or I guess it's even close to 12 days now, that we would have
1:26.8	more of an idea of what Sam
1:28.7	Darnold and his contract's going to be moving forward.
1:31.8	And I think based off of some deductive work on how things have gone with other contracts,
