Seahawks could make a’surprise’ quarterback move in 2024
|As the Seattle Seahawks strive to rescue their season, whispers regarding potential quarterbacks are circulating.
Seattle has Geno Smith under contract until 2025, but the Seahawks have been considered as a possible landing destination for a quarterback in the future months.
According to ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler, the Seahawks could be a “surprise participant in the QB market” this offseason.
“Yeah, Seattle feels like a team to watch, depending on how the rest of the season shakes out,” Fowler wrote in a December 6, 2023 piece titled “NFL Week 14 latest buzz, fantasy tips, and upset predictions.”
“Geno Smith’s guaranteed money runs out in 2023.” But that doesn’t mean the Seahawks are ready to let go. Smith is a good starter coming off a 334-yard performance against Dallas, and his salary hit of $31.2 million next season is reasonable for NFL starters.
“However, if Seattle decides to go young at quarterback, Smith’s future is in jeopardy.” The Seahawks have spent the last two years strengthening their whole roster in preparation for the post-Russell Wilson future. Soon, that might involve selecting a quarterback in the first round.”
