"Smith doesn't inspire a boatload of enthusiasm from fans, and headed into the final year of his contract with a cap hit of $44.5 million, the offseason will likely feature at least some drama involving the 34-year-old."

The Seattle Seahawks have had positive quarterback play from Geno Smith over the past three seasons. However, Smith has yet to lead the Seahawks to a win in the playoffs, putting him and the team in a strange place of mediocrity.

In this blockbuster trade proposal, the Seattle Seahawks send star quarterback Geno Smith to the New York Giants.

Howell was a full-time starter in 2023, and he was traded to the Seahawks a little less than a year ago to give the team some insurance if Smith wasn't good enough. Well, Smith did just good enough to warrant keeping him around, but not enough to produce any meaningful playoff results.

None, however, loom larger than the question of the quarterback, Geno Smith. Geno is under contract for the 2025 season, but there's layers to this that we're discussing on the KOMO Sports End Zone Podcast. If the Seahawks were to part ways with Geno before the new league year in March, they would "save" roughly $30 million.
