NFL Insiders believe

Everything that Seattle Seahawks said publicly this extra -season about their defender’s situation shows that they plan to return Jeno Smith in 2025. However, everything they said in which former chief coach Pete Carol did it.

The man who will make a decision is the General Manager John Schneider, so his opinion is important. Unfortunately, we haven’t heard from Schneider yet – but we’ll get the opportunity this next week when he resumed his weekly sports radio in Seattle on Thursday. Until then, all we need to continue is speculation.

This was said that people seem to think that Seahawks will not throw us a crooked ball and are engaged with Genno Smith. Here’s what Ian Rapport had to say and Tom Pelisero about entering the Super Bowl.

“Seahawks did not say anything to discourage the impression that they are increasing in Gendo Smith, which enters the contractual year at the age of 34 and is ready to have its third offensive coordinator for three seasons. Coatt is likely to cope With his deal, which is ready to pay him $ 25 million in 2025, placing him at the bottom of the scale for the veteran starter.

Although there is a strong case to continue and reset around a younger and cheaper QB, there are many good reasons to hold Smith around, even if he is 35 years old during the middle of next season.

On the one hand, there is no clear path to upgrading the position in this extra -season. The free agent class is weak, consisting almost entirely of Sam Darnold, who will not go anywhere if the Vikings have some sense and Justin Fields, who is still stuck between a backup and a legal starter.

The NFL 2025 draft class is also thin with a defender, and Seahawks will not be in the range to choose the best prospects unless something crazy happens like a Sander Sanders, falling to 18. This is still a distant scenario , although in everyone and in any case, Seahawks only have a few weeks to decide on Geno Smith, which is due to a bunch of guarantees on March 16.

According to CAP, the provision of Smith extension of the contract may be the same, the team just under $ 23.8 million in Cap Room for the 2025 season. This is enough breathing space so you don’t have to make really painful decisions such as DK trading Metcalf or potential cutting of uchenna nwosu. With Smith of the books under a new deal, Seattle must be able to clear enough dead weight with Tyler Locket and Dra’mont Jones as victims of CAP to modernize his offensive line at a free agency.

If they can actually do this and keep Geno Smith clean, then Mike McDonald is 100% correct that they can win a championship with him, starting. However, this is big, if.
