Veteran quarterback Geno Smith will parlay his career year in 2022 into a big payday from the Seattle Seahawks. According to The Score’s Jordan Schultz, Smith, and the Seahawks have reached an agreement on a three-year, $105 million contract.

Smith, who was set to become a free agent this offseason, will reportedly get as much as $52 million in 2023.

After serving as a backup for the better part of his pro career, Smith received a chance to start for the Seahawks after the franchise traded Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos ahead of the 2022 campaign. The 32-year-old player used the most out of this opportunity, leading the league in completion percentage with 69.8 while throwing for 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 picks. He was named Pro Bowl and NFL Comeback Player of the Year at the end of the season.

Geno Smith re-signing with the Seahawks always seemed like a foregone conclusion considering how comfortable he looks in Pete Carroll’s system. The franchise, on the other hand, didn’t want to lose the player they had tons of respect for and who gave them a great chance to compete.

The Seahawks will now have to figure out who to have as Smith’s backup next season. Former second-round pick Drew Lock served in that role in 2022, but he is set to become a free agent. Seattle may try to resign him or instead get one of the rookie QBs with the No. 5 selection in the 2023 NFL Draft.

Veteran signal-caller Geno Smith will get to wear the Seattle Seahawks’ jersey in 2020 as well. According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, Smith, who became a free agent in March, agreed to a new one-year deal with Seahawks.

Smith spent 2019 as Seahawks’ backup QB, but didn’t make an official game appearance as starter Russell Wilson played every snap last season. Still, Seattle appreciated the 29-year-old’s professionalism and viewed him as a reliable addition to the QB room.

Smith, however, doesn’t have the backup role in the bag just yet. He will have to compete with Anthony Gordon, an undrafted rookie out of Washington State.

Geno Smith entered the NFL in 2013 as New York Jets’ second-round pick. He spent his first two seasons in New York as a starter, throwing for 5,571 yards and 25 touchdowns in 30 games. However, Smith also threw 34 interceptions during that period, which caused the Jets to demote him to a backup role.

Smith also had stints with New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers before joining Seahawks in 2019.

Geno Smith, the man who snapped Eli Manning’s 210-game starting streak with the New York Giants, has a new job. According to ESPN’s Jordan Ranaan, Smith will sign a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks in the coming days.

Ranaan reports that Smith will receive a chance to compete for the role of Russell Wilson’s backup. His main competition for the job will be former Denver Broncos first-round pick Paxton Lynch, who was brought in back in January.

Besides Lynch, Seattle Seahawks also had undrafted free agent Taryn Christion under contract but released him on Monday in order to make room for Smith. Seattle also tried out QBs Troy Williams and Michael O’Connor but was not impressed with their overall performance during the rookie minicamp.

Geno Smith started his NFL career with the New York Jets as a second-round pick in 2013. He was a starter for the Jets for two years but was relegated to a backup role in 2015. Smith signed with the Giants in 2017 and was named a starter in Week 12, becoming the first player to start besides Manning for the team since 2004. He ended the game with 212 passing yards and a touchdown, while having two forced fumbles, and was demoted to the backup role the next week.

Smith spent 2018 with the Los Angeles Chargers, where he appeared in five games as a relief to Philip Rivers. He passed for eight yards and rushed for two more during those games.
