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

One mock NFL draft has the Seattle Seahawks taking a quarterback in round one, but coach Mike Macdonald said he’s sticking with Geno Smith. As for Smith, he reacted to cousin Jeremiah Smith’s big College Football Playoffs title-game performance,

The veteran quarterback's future with the team is a hot topic. What are the different paths Seattle could take?

Brock Huard compares the Seattle Seahawks' Geno Smith to the eight quarterbacks who played in the divisional round of the NFL playoffs.

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.

The Seattle Seahawks fell short of their goal of making the NFC playoffs even though they finished with a 10-7 record.  Now, they enter the offseason to improve their roster and ensure they don't get left out of the big dance again next season.

As has been a topic of discussion for months now, quarterback Geno Smith’s future with the Seahawks will be the big question of the offseason for Seattle.

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.

While Mike Macdonald acknowledged the decision isn't his to make, he vouched for Geno Smith to be back under center for the Seahawks next season.

Specifically, Grubb has called very pass-heavy attacks at Washington and in Seattle, leaning heavily on Michael Penix Jr. and Geno Smith, respectively. When Grubb had one of the nation's best offensive lines with the Huskies it worked out for them. When he had one of the worst in the NFL with the Seahawks it didn't go so well.
