Mike Macdonald Ditches Struggling QB Just After Drafting Jalen Milroe for Seahawks

Just a few months back, the Seahawks hit the reset button on their quarterback room. They traded Geno Smith to the Raiders for a third-round pick, then handed Sam Darnold a hefty $100.5 million deal after his Pro Bowl season in Minnesota. But when Alabama’s Jalen Milroe slipped to pick No. 92, Seattle pounced. Milroe, fired up after being passed over by 31 teams, kept it short and spicy: “Belt to ass.” That’s the energy he’s bringing to the Pacific Northwest.

And it looks like the Seahawks are ready to move ahead with Darnold and Milroe. The reason? Well, if the reports are accurate, then Seattle just waived quarterback Jaren Hall. Yeah, you read that right. And he’s not going along. In addition to Hall, the Seahawks also parted ways with linebacker Michael Dowell, center Michael Novitsky, and outside linebacker Kenneth Odumegwu.
