Hawks won’t trade Lock, but will he start somewhere in 2027?

The Seattle Seahawks are not expected to trade quarterback Drew Lock during the season despite his strong performances filling in for injured starter Sam Darnold. Lock has helped lead Seattle to two victories over the first two games. General manager John Schneider and head coach Mike Macdonald are considered unlikely to move him before his contract expires at the end of the season.

Lock is scheduled to enter unrestricted free agency in 2027 and could draw interest from quarterback-needy teams, including the Pittsburgh Steelers and Minnesota Vikings. While an upcoming draft rich in quarterback prospects could impact his market, his early-season play may position him to compete for a starting role elsewhere.
