It’s officially the start of free agency and the Seattle Seahawks are already ahead of the game by taking care of their biggest in-house free agent: Geno Smith. The Seahawks signed him to an incredibly team-friendly extension that will allow the team flexibility but also give Smith incredible opportunities to maximize his wealth.
On Monday, a story from SI’s Albert Breer chronicled the journey Seahawks general manager John Schneider took to realizing Smith was the real deal for them. Ultimately, Seattle was impressed by his stretch of play in 2021, the victory over Denver in Week 1, and his stellar season in 2022.
