She also captured a snapshot of the setting sun on the beach.<\/p>\n<p>This offseason has brought many moments of joy for Darnold, despite being released by the Vikings earlier \u2014 even after having a memorable season with them. The Vikings suffered a setback early in the season with an injury to JJ McCarthy, but Darnold led them to the playoffs with a 14-3 record.<\/p>\n<p>Darnold threw for 4,319 passing yards and 35 TDs with 12 INTs. At one stage, the Vikings seemed poised to lead the NFC until they faced an equally challenging team in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/detroit-lions\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Detroit Lions<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>However, Darnold\u2019s performance in the playoffs was scrutinized as the Vikings lost their wild-card round against the LA Rams, 27-9, which ultimately led to his release. The management decided to continue with McCarthy as their starting QB. Though Darnold was good enough for retention, playing him as a backup was not a feasible option for the Vikings. Hence, he was released.<\/p>\n<h2>Sam Darnold acknowledges girlfriend Katie&#8217;s support during offseason<\/h2>\n<p>However, this hasn\u2019t affected <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/sam-darnold\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">Sam Darnold<\/a>\u2019s career prospects, as he signed a massive $100.5 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks.<\/p>\n<p>Excited by the news, Darnold <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportskeeda.com\/nfl\/news-seahawks-new-qb-sam-darnold-reveals-one-thing-girlfriend-katie-hoofnagle-won-t-let-offseason\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-is-sponsored=\"false\">expressed his happiness by thanking his girlfriend<\/a>, Katie Hoofnagle, during an interview with US Weekly on March 15.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;The support (from) my girlfriend is unbelievable,&#8221; Darnold said. &#8220;You know, the fact that she just understands it.
