Geno Smith: Contract Talks and Stellar Performance Highlight Seahawks QB’s Current Status

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has been making headlines both on and off the field. Recently, it was reported that Smith has approached the Seahawks about a new contract. According to NFL Network‘s Mike Garafolo, Smith, who is currently in the second year of a three-year, $75 million deal, has initiated discussions for a potential new contract. This move comes as Smith’s cap hit is set to increase significantly, from $26.4 million in 2024 to $38.5 million in the next season.

On the field, Smith continues to impress. Despite a recent interception by Los Angeles Rams safety Jaylen McCollough, Smith has been one of the top performers in the league. He currently leads the league in passing yards with 2,197, closely followed by Rams quarterback Baker Mayfield with 2,189 yards. This performance has been a highlight of the season, especially given the unexpected rise of both quarterbacks to the top of the passing yards leaderboard.

In a recent game against the Los Angeles Rams, Smith demonstrated his skill with a 31-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Lockett, which came after the Rams jumped offsides. This play showcased Smith’s ability to capitalize on defensive mistakes and deliver crucial scores.

As the season progresses, Smith’s contract negotiations and his on-field performance will continue to be closely watched by fans and analysts alike.
