NFL | Geno Smith signs long-term deal with Seattle Seahawks

Quarterback Geno Smith agreed to a three-year contract with the Seattle Seahawks on Monday.




The deal could net him $105 million, the NFL Network reported.

Smith revived his career with a strong season last year.

He led the NFL in completing 69.8% of his passes, en route to 4,282 passing yards.

Smith had 30 touchdown passes, finishing fourth in the league in that effort.

The 32-year-old was the victim of 11 interceptions.

Smith also rushed for 366 yards, ranking eighth among quarterbacks on the league.

A starting quarterback in his first two seasons in the NFL, with the Jets, Smith then acted as a reserve for six seasons. From 2019 to 2021, he was Russell Wilson’s backup with the Seahawks.

After the trade sent Wilson to the Denver Broncos, Smith earned the starting quarterback position over Drew Lock.

Seattle went 9-8 before losing in the first round, 41-23 to 49ers from San Francisco.
