Drew Lock returning to Seahawks for second stint after rough Giants tenure

Drew Lock returning to Seahawks for second stint after rough Giants tenure

Drew Lock is back in the Pacific Northwest.

The 28-year-old quarterback is signing with the Seahawks for a second stint in Seattle, according to multiple reports on Friday.

The terms of the deal were not immediately clear.

Lock played one season with the Seahawks in 2023-24 before spending last year with the Giants.

He’ll likely be in a backup role to Sam Darnold, who signed a three-year deal worth $100.5 million with the Seahawks this offseason.

Sam Howell will likely compete with Lock for that backup job.

In Lock’s previous season with the Seahawks, he played in four games — with two starts — and threw for 543 yards, three touchdowns and three interceptions.

He signed a one-year, $5 million contract with the Giants last year and struggled mightily in limited action.

Despite being ahead of third-stringer Tommy DeVito on the depth chart, DeVito got the first crack at taking over as starter after the Giants cut Daniel Jones midseason.

But a DeVito injury led to Lock starting five games and appearing in eight, recording 1,071 pᴀssing yards, six touchdowns and five interceptions.

And, amid a 10-game losing streak, Lock delivered one of his best-ever performances in a 45-33 win over the Colts in Week 16, completing 17 of 23 pᴀsses for 309 yards, four touchdowns and no interceptions.

As a result, the win knocked the Giants out of the slot for the No. 1 overall pick in the draft down to No. 3.

In free agency, the Giants have brought in Russell Wilson and Jameis Winston to boost the quarterback room.
