Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith carries a $44.5 million cap hit next season, which is a hefty price for a player that has yet to win a playoff game. That being said, Smith did have a decent year for the Seahawks in his third season as the starter.

ESPN's Bill Barnwell weighs in on the route the Seattle Seahawks should pursue with Geno Smith and the future of their quarterback position.

Tim Weaver has been covering the NFL since the 2013 season for a number of different outlets, including Fansided and USA Today SMG. His work began with the Seahawks and has included covering the Eagles, Bears, Panthers, Steelers and Falcons. His pit/terrier mix, Pepper, is a one-cut-and-go kind of girl.

Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith faces an uncertain future after missing the playoffs for the second year in a row. Smith has been good for the Seahawks, leading them to 10 wins this season, but it hasn't been enough to get the team to the goals that they set themselves out for.

With Coby Bryant rising into the starting lineup and becoming a star at free safety, the Seahawks can afford to let Rayshawn Jenkins go one year into the two-year deal he signed last March. Jenkins played relatively well early in the 2024 season but he's expendable now and cutting him would save the team $5.28 million.
