Geno Smith Fantasy

The Seattle Seahawks have signed quarterback Geno Smith to a multi-year extension. The deal is reportedly a three-year contract worth $105 million. The NFL's comeback player of the year was set to enter free agency, but is now likely to end his career with the Seahawks. The first year of this new contract will include a $52 million salary. It will be his age-33 season, but the hope is that Smith continues to play like he did last season. In 2022, Smith finally broke out and had the best campaign of his nine-year career. He threw for nearly 4,300 yards and 30 touchdowns, while leading the Seahawks to the Wildcard round during a rebuilding season. It's nice to see Smith getting paid after his incredible season, but hopefully this isn't a one-hit wonder.

According to Brady Henderson of ESPN, the Seahawks haven't ruled out selecting a quarterback in the NFL Draft. Seattle is still working on a deal to bring back Geno Smith, who is coming off the best year of his career. However, with general manager John Schneider and head coach Pete Carroll intrigued by the number of quality quarterbacks in the 2023 class, they may go in that direction with the No. 5 overall pick. "We are totally connected to the quarterbacks that are coming out," said Carroll while speaking to reporters. "This is a rare opportunity for us." Talks with Smith have been "positive." Yet, Schneider didn't rule out utilizing the franchise tag on the veteran. That said, if the Seahawks select a signal-caller, he'll unlikely be thrust into action immediately, presumably taking time to learn under Smith, assuming he agrees to remain in Seattle.

The Seahawks and quarterback Geno Smith continue to work on a potential new contract, with the signal-caller indicating in recent weeks that things were looking promising. At the same time, team general manager John Schneider affirmed the veteran's comment, stating that both sides have had "good talks so far." However, Schneider also acknowledged that there is still plenty of time to work out the particulars, meaning it could be a while before Smith puts pen to paper. The 32-year-old is coming off the best season of his career, finishing with 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions off 69.8% passing while also being named the league's Comeback Player of the Year. Although Smith will likely draw the most fantasy interest by staying put, the departures of quarterbacks coach Dave Canales and assistant wide receivers coach Brad Idzik to the Buccaneers is something to consider heading into the 2023-24 campaign.
