Geno Smith is still the guy for the Seahawks at the quarterback position – at least for the 2024 season. After restructuring his contract and likely shopping him around at the Scouting Combine, the team has reportedly told Smith that he will be on the roster this year and won’t be traded.
That news won’t stop Seattle from targeting a quarterback in the draft, but we now know that Smith will be starting Week 1 over any rookie they bring in or Drew Lock. Let’s see if we can predict who else will be joining him in the Seahawks’ starting lineup come September.
In this scenario, we are expecting a cautious approach from Seattle’s front office in free agency. For starters, our projection has Leonard Williams moving on to another team after he hits the market when the new league year begins. To replace him, the team uses one of their early draft picks on an enormous interior defensive line prospect from Texas.
We’re also assuming that the Seahawks will pass on Washington quarterback Michael Penix Jr. and focus on building up their offensive line in the draft – towards that end we have two new rookies projected to start at the guard positions. Let’s get to the full list.
