Geno Smith, the Seattle Seahawks' starting quarterback, confirmed that his representatives approached the team about a contract extension this offseason, despite having two years remaining on his current three-year, $75 million deal. Smith's contract lacks guaranteed money after this season, which gives Seattle flexibility to move on if needed. General Manager John Schneider acknowledged that while many players seek extensions, the Seahawks avoid renegotiating contracts with multiple years left to maintain team policy. Smith, who turned 34 in October, has had a successful run since taking over for Russell Wilson but faces uncertainty regarding his long-term future with the team. As he enters the 2024 season, Smith's performance will be critical in determining his future in Seattle, especially with other quarterbacks receiving new deals around the league. The situation reflects both Smith's desire for security and Seattle's cautious approach to contract negotiations.
