Especially with Michael Penix Jr. in the mix, that's a high-stakes decision that could impact their entire season.

Hey, good for him. Every team's got their early season stories brewing, and you can tell these guys are hungry to prove themselves. What a wild start to the season's news across the league already! While we're all laser-focused on our Seahawks and what Mike Macdonald and Brian Fleury are cooking up with Sam Darnold, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Cooper Kupp, it's wild to see all these pieces falling into place around the NFL.
