Sam Darnold doesn't have much to say about Rams acquiring Myles Garrett

The narrow gap between the Seahawks and Rams may have been closed, and then some, with this week's acquisition of defensive end Myles Garrett by L.A. Meeting with reporters on Wednesday, Seattle quarterback Sam Darnold was asked about the move. "Myles is a great player," Darnold said. "Shoot, Jared Verse is a great player as well, but I don't think we see them until Week 16, so we'll cross that bridge when we get there." He's right. Arguably the best current rivalry in football won't be renewed until Christmas, with a prime-time game between the two best teams in the league from 2025. That gives Darnold and the Seahawks 15 weeks of the regular season to not have to worry about Garrett. After a Saturday, December 19, game at the Eagles, the Seahawks will have six days to get ready for the guy who managed to rack up 23.0 sacks in 2025.
