General Manager John Schneider highlighted the need to strengthen both lines to compete with San Francisco and Los Angeles.
Seattle signed linebacker Chazz Surratt and waived safety D'Anthony Bell.
Rookie wide receiver Tory Horton is set to return from injury and may be the primary punt returner against the 49ers.

Summary

Seahawks Sign Darnold

The Seahawks signed quarterback Sam Darnold to enhance their passing game after losing D.K. Metcalf and Tyler Lockett.
The rushing attack, ranked fifth-lowest last season, depends on Kenneth Walker III's recovery and a new offensive line led by first-round pick Grey Zabel.
Veteran DeMarcus Lawrence strengthens the defensive line, which recorded 45 sacks last year, alongside Leonard Williams and Jarran Reed.
The secondary features Devon Witherspoon and Riq Woolen, but the new interior offensive line raises concerns about inexperience.
