Seahawks Lock In Geno Smith For 2024

9 months ago

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith, who has $12.7 million in his contract that becomes fully guaranteed on Friday, was informed on Thursday that he will remain on the roster through this week, allowing that money to trigger, according to sources. The Seahawks believed that in today's market, with salaries soaring for starting QBs, the correct decision was to pay the money for Smith, who will now represent a value to Seattle or any other team that decides to acquire him via trade this offseason. The 33-year-old veteran has two years and $75 million left on his three-year deal that he signed last offseason. After leading the league with a 69.8 completion percentage in 2022 while throwing for a career-high 4,282 yards and 30 touchdowns, Smith regressed a bit in 2023. Expecting him to return to his 2022 form would be foolish.
