Sam Darnold: $100 million, banner raised, six snaps, hospital. Drew Lock started Week 2 and the Seahawks are still fine. Seattle's quarterback plan is to keep signing guys until one of them is standing at the end of the year. It's a survivor pool with a cap number.

Sam Darnold raised the Super Bowl banner and got carried off on the sixth play of the season. Banner up, quarterback in a hospital, Seattle won anyway. That's not football, that's a Greek play with a salary cap.

Darnold went down on the sixth snap with a hip injury and spent the night in the hospital. He signed for $100 million last year. That's $16 million a play, which is still cheaper than what Iran's paying per tanker.

Darnold spent the night at the hospital after the opener. The team said "good news." The good news is a "muscle strain." The bad news is he's a Seahawks quarterback, and their good news has a way of becoming a Drew Lock start.

The Mariners edged the Rangers with the Seahawks' quarterback in the hospital across town. Seattle sports in one night: a win, a win, and a CT scan. Three for three.

Sam Darnold's $100 million contract, one drive, six plays, a sack, a hospital. He was in a CT scanner before the first quarter ended. The banner took longer to raise than his season took to pause.

Darnold's hip was CT-scanned, MRI'd, and ruled "not fractured." The Seahawks called it "good news." In Seattle, good news is when your $100 million quarterback can still sit.
