Expect Geno Smith and the Seattle Seahawks to work through a contract extension this offseason, with the veteran quarterback currently set to be a free agency after the 2025 season.
According to Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, "The Seahawks have said nothing to dissuade the impression they're all-in on Smith," adding that the team "likely will address his deal."
An extension could also provide some cap relief in 2025, with Smith set to make $31 million in total (including a $16 million roster bonus) and a cap number at $44.5 million.
The 34-year-old threw for 4,320 yards, 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions in 2024, completing 70.4 percent of his passes while taking 50 sacks. The Seahawks went 10-7 and narrowly missed the playoffs, and the team is now 27-22 in Smith's three full seasons as the starting quarterback.
His play, while a bit up-and-down in 2024, has remained strong enough that his head coach, Mike MacDonald, offered him an endorsement on Friday.
"Heck yeah, man. Geno is our quarterback," he told FOX 13's Aaron Levine.
"I don't understand the conversation," he continued. "It's pretty obvious this guy is a heck of a quarterback. He's our quarterback. We love him. Can't wait to go to work with him."
