Seattle Seahawks starting quarterback Geno Smith just put pen to paper on a lucrative deal. Thus, ending the debate about whether the Seahawks will replace him soon. This deal is richly deserved, as Smith helped steady the ship caused by the departure of Russell Wilson and even let the Seahawks on a postseason run.
According to reports, Smith will earn a staggering $105,000,000 over the next three years as a member of the Seahawks. This has completed a remarkable turnaround for the 2022 Comeback Player of the Year. The Seahawks are now all in on the Geno Smith project, and the front office will be looking to reap the benefits of their investment.
Geno Smith's guaranteed money
It still needs to be determined how much of Smith's deal will be guaranteed, and the full structure of it needs to be reported. However, reports state that Smith will earn $35 million per season, making him the tenth-best-paid QB in the NFL alongside Kirk Cousins.
This contract is the first big one of Smith's ten-year NFL career, with the 2013 second-round pick earning $17,446,078 before inking a deal recently. He has spent most of his career as a journeyman backup QB, but thankfully he took his opportunity last season. The complete details of Smith's new contract will be available in a few days, and we will keep you updated accordingly.
