In some respects, the posting of an item on PFT operates like a bat signal.

Stymied in our effort through usual channels to get a full breakdown of quarterback Sam Darnold’s three-year, $100.5 million deal with Seattle, we posted a little while ago that the numbers aren’t available.

And, within 20 minutes, the numbers arrived.

Per a source with knowledge of the terms, here’s the rough breakdown:

1. 2025 compensation: $37.5 million, fully guaranteed.

2. 2026 compensation: $27.5 million, $17.5 million of which is guaranteed for injury and becomes fully guaranteed in the week after Super Bowl LX.
