Seattle Seahawks 2020 free agent profile: Quarterback Geno Smith

*The Seattle Seahawks are heading into the 2020 offseason with 19 players set to become unrestricted free agents, which should make for another busy spring and summer for Pete Carroll and John Schneider as they look to shore up the roster and contend for the number one seed in the NFC again next year.*

Our Seahawks Wire series on Seattle’s free agents continues with quarterback Geno Smith.

The Seahawks have routinely cycled through backup quarterbacks the past few years, a tradition that has continued despite none of them ever being needed thanks to Russell Wilson’s incredible, improbable, run of health and dependability under center.

Geno Smith was perhaps the most talented backup quarterbacks the team had in recent years, which makes it seem likely that – at age 29 – he will look for an opportunity that might actually allow him to play, instead of spending the entire year on the bench.

The Seahawks seem content shuffling things around behind Wilson, so don’t expect a reunion between the two sides unless neither Smith or Seattle can find something better.
