Geno Smith is still the guy for the Seattle Seahawks, at least for the moment. Last week the team kept Smith on the roster, allowing his base salary for the 2024 season ($12.7 million) to become fully guaranteed. While that may seem like an indication Seattle intends to keep Smith and start him Week 1, the details matter and facts are that Smith is now much more tradeable than he was at this time last week.
The first report of the decision came from ESPN’s Adam Schefter and his follow-up tweet after the initial report was very revealing, essentially inviting teams to call the Seahawks with offers if they’re interested in trading for Geno.
There’s not usually a huge market for 33 year-old quarterbacks, but the way Smith has played over the last two seasons might be enough to convince some organizations that they can make a deep playoff run with him, provided they have the proper supporting cast.
With that in mind, we set out to find teams around the NFL that already have solid rosters and won at least seven games last season, but could use an upgrade at the quarterback position. Using those guidelines we identified six teams that should at least give John Schneider a call.
