Wife of former Seahawks quarterback Drew Lock Reacts Strongly to Giants Contract

The Seattle Seahawks are preparing for the 2024 NFL season by making significant roster changes. Geno Smith is expected to start at quarterback, but Seattle needs a new backup.

On Tuesday, March 12, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport revealed that quarterback Drew Lock would be joining the New York Giants. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Lock consented to a $5 million, one-year contract.

One individual who is ecstatic about Lock joining the Giants is Natalie Lock, his wife. Natalie shared a heartfelt message of support on social media following the announcement.

After several years of dating, Lock and Natalie tied the knot in April 2023 at The Breakers in Palm Beach, Florida. On January 15, the couple welcomed their first child, Layton Andrew. Natalie posted on Instagram, “The sweetest little boy is finally in our arms & we are so in love! Our hearts are forever full🤍.. & to make this day even more special, he arrived on my grandma’s birthday. Our biggest blessing!

Lock, drafted by the Denver Broncos in the second round of the 2019 NFL draft, landed in Seattle in the blockbuster Russell Wilson trade. Under new head coach Mike Macdonald, the Seahawks are undergoing a major roster shakeup. Lock isn’t the only offensive player to exit this offseason.

Seattle also said goodbye to tight ends Will Dissly and Colby Parkinson, running back DeeJay Dallas, and guard Damien Lewis.

Drew Lock regretted not being Seattle’s starting quarterback

Before Smith was named as the starter ahead of the 2022 NFL season, Lock was a legitimate contender to be QB1. However, he, unfortunately, contracted COVID, “which severely hurt his chances” of earning the starting job, per SI. “Smith was likely already the favorite to land the starting job, but Lock’s absence and Smith’s efficient play all but sealed the deal.”

Ahead of the 2023 NFL, Lock made his Lumen Field debut during the preseason. “First game here as a Seahawk in my career,” he gushed. “I’ve never walked out there in a Seahawks uniform and played a snap. I had a blast. The 12s were definitely in effect… Overall, it felt great. To be playing football again. It’s weird when you go a whole year without taking a snap.”

With Smith dealing with bruised triceps and groin injury, Lock made two starts in 2023. During the Seahawks’ 28-16 loss to the San Francisco 49ers, Lock completed 22-of-31 passes for 269 yards, 2 touchdowns, and 2 interceptions. In Seattle’s 20-17 win over the Philadelphia Eagles, he completed 22-of-33 passes for 208 yards and 1 score.
