Pete Carroll: Seahawks want to re-sign Geno Smith for 2022 season

The trade speculation regarding quarterback Russell Wilson will continue to dominate this offseason for the Seattle Seahawks, but the team is reportedly looking to bring back his backup from last year as well.

Here’s what head coach Pete Carroll said about Geno Smith at the 2022 NFL Scouting Combine yesterday.

Smith first saw the field for Seattle in Week 5 after Wilson suffered his gruesome finger injury. He initially played well, but he struggled in the ensuing weeks leading up to the team’s 31-7 victory over the Jacksonville Jaguars. 

However, he dug himself into a particularly deep hole with his arrest on suspicion of driving under the influence in January, which he is currently under investigation for.

The Seahawks find themselves in need of a decent backup for next season, but whether or not Smith will be in blue and green again will most likely depend on the outcome of his legal issues.
