Pete Carroll says the Seahawks love Geno Smith and want him to return for the 2023 season. Seattle could certainly do worse at the game’s most-important position. Despite Smith’s late turnover issues he finished 2022 with a very-respectable 30/11 touchdown to interception ratio and proved he can operate Shane Waldron’s offense at a high level.
While we ultimately expect Smith to return and start Week 1 next season, the front office should not pass on chances for potential upgrades. They hold the No. 5 overall pick in the draft, which gives them a good shot at most of the quarterbacks in this class. If either Bryce Young or C.J. Stroud are still on the board when the Seahawks are on the clock they have to at least seriously considering drafting them – regardless of their feelings about Geno.
