The Seattle Seahawks have been doing some major team-building this offseason. They have parted ways with some pretty huge names. But nobody wanted to see the beloved quarterback Russell Wilson go away. Ever since Wilson was traded to the Denver Broncos, football fans have been wondering, Who will be the next starting quarterback for the Seahawks?

Some recent turn of events might have given us the answer to that question. The franchise is bringing back the quarterback Geno Smith for a fourth campaign. They have signed a lucrative one-year deal with the athlete. He might take the place of Russell Wilson in the offense.

The Seattle Seahawks sign an extension with a familiar face

After the franchise traded Russell Wilson away, their offense seemed to be in shambles. He was their number one quarterback for 10 years. He led them to a few Super Bowl appearances and a Super Bowl XLVIII victory against the Denver Broncos. Wilson was the perfect quarterback for the Seahawks. He is a nine-time Pro Bowler and the 2020 Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year.

When the Seattle Seahawks announced Wilson’s trade to the Denver Broncos, it came as a shock to many. The quarterback had his heart set on Seattle and wanted to retire with the franchise. But he was traded in exchange for a bunch of picks. These picks will help Seattle to rebuild their squad for the next season. But now the question arose: who would be the shot caller? Will they sign a free agent or rely on the draft?

It seems like Seattle has turned to a familiar face. They have signed a one-year extension with Geno Smith. The veteran quarterback got a deal worth $3.5 million, with $500,000 guaranteed. He will also receive another $3.5 million in incentives. 

Geno Smith in the NFL 

The quarterback Geno Smith did not start his professional career with the Seattle Seahawks. The New York Jets originally drafted him. Smith was a second-round pick in the 2013 draft. He spent three seasons with the Jets. Then he spent a season with the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Charge each before finally moving to Seattle. 

The Seahawks signed Smith in 2019 as a backup quarterback for Russell Wilson. The quarterback has not really gotten the opportunity to shine in the league till now. Maybe after the departure of the star QB Russell Wilson, Smith might show everyone what he is capable of.
