Seattle Seahawks quarterback Sam Darnold has entered the MVP conversation for most sportsbooks after he lit up the Washington Commanders on Sunday night, and the Seahawks just helped his chances get even better after trading for the dynamic Rashid Shaheed on Tuesday.
Seattle's blowout of the Washington Commanders on Sunday night was a clinic by Darnold and also featured a swarming, attacking defense that ranks fifth in the league in scoring (18.8 points allowed per game) and is tied for third in sacks (27).
Shaheed joins the Seattle receiver room that includes arguably the best receiver in the game right now, Jaxon Smith-Njigba. He leads the league with 948 receiving yards through eight games. Now quarterback Sam Darnold has another key target.
I think when it comes to MVP, and I have to clarify that I do have a vote, the first thing is the MVP vote does not include the postseason, which I wish it would, but there's a timing thing with the NFL honors and the Super Bowl and all that.
