Both Geno Smith and head coach Pete Carroll want Smith to return next season as the quarterback of the Seattle Seahawks. Now the two sides just need to make it happen. FOX13
SANTA CLARA, CALIFORNIA - JANUARY 14: Geno Smith #7 of the Seattle Seahawks throws a pass against the San Francisco 49ers during the first half of the game in the NFC Wild Card playoff game at Levi's Stadium on January 14, 2023 in Santa Clara, CalifoBoth Geno Smith and head coach Pete Carroll want Smith to return next season as the quarterback of theSmith expressed his desire to remain with the Seahawks following Saturday's loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Wild Card round.
Smith led the NFL with a 69.8 completion percentage with 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He was fifth in the league in passer rating at 100.9, one of just six quarterbacks to start at least 10 games to have a 100-plus rating. Smith could reasonably ask for a contract worth as much as $35 million a year based on comparable deals across the NFL. Smith's comments about wanting to "repay" the Seahawks for their faith in him would suggest he's not going to batter them for every dollar possible, however.
Seattle also owns the No. 5 overall pick in this year's NFL Draft, which could presumably be used on a quarterback as well. Alabama's Bryce Young, Ohio State's C.J. Stroud and Kentucky's Will Levis are the highest-regarded quarterback prospects in this year's class. If a deal can't be reached with Smith, the Seahawks could turn to a rookie instead.
