Bobby Brown Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Carr was the first shoe to drop. Don't know how many years or $$ guaranteed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darin3 Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I heard on NFL Radio that it's like $70MM guaranteed! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was expecting a deal somewhat similar to Carr, but not quite there, once he set the market. Geno certainly had a better year than Carr last year; without the obvious track record as a starter. He's making making Jared Goff money for 2 or maybe 3 years. Sounds about right. Edited March 7, 2023 by Bobby Brown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
purplemonster Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Good for Geno, the guy was damn near left for dead, and here he is signing a 70M guaranteed contract 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 What if I told you this a year ago? Sorry, that's insane for a backup who played well over his head for 1 season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you think this move prevents them from drafting Anthony Richardson or Levis. I think they should still draft either if there. Richardson is an interesting project.

It's not like they have a long term commitment with Geno Smith (my guess it'll be 2 years guaranteed). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Seattle is intent on keeping him around then I agree it's more likely he stays. I'm mainly wondering if he will want a better opportunity to start somewhere. I'd love to see him pull a Priest Holmes somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, that's insane for a backup who played well over his head for 1 season. The closest comparison was always thought to be Tannehill who turned 1 good year into 90 million and 3 years guaranteed. If Geno plays like he did last year, the contract will look more than alright. If he busts it sounds like the cap hit is short term. It's starting to feel like the system Seattle runs might be a big part of the perceived QB quality. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more I think about it, I'm ok with it. They definitely overpaid but if they get a Richardson or Levis it totally makes sense, If not I question the contract.

He'd be an amazing complimentary back somewhere though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
League_Champion Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 I'd bet anything they draft a QB. Geno Smith signed a 3 year, $75,000,000 contract with the Seattle Seahawks, including an average annual salary of $25,000,000. In 2023, Smith will earn, while carrying a cap hit of .

purplemonster Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 To hear Geno tell it he wasn't really that surprised that he played well and he didn't sound cocky about it. He just said that he had been playing well for the last couple years but never really had a chance to show it. I think the stats mostly bore that out. That said they're going to have a lot more tape on him now. But I was surprised how steady he was last year Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first half of the season got him the contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So his bad part of the season was nearly 70% completion and on the better side of 2 TDs per INT. He also had Seattle up at half in the playoffs until the superior opponent imposed themselves on Seattle's defense. He got the contract based on a season long performance Edited March 8, 2023 by Bobby Brown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not a bad contract for Seattle. They have to draft a QB though for it to make sense. Geno's not winning anyone anything, let's be real IT'S GENO SMITH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
