Seahawks Re-Sign Geno Smith Thursday
4 years agoThe Seattle Seahawks re-signed quarterback Geno Smith to an undisclosed deal on Thursday. Smith has served as Russell Wilson's backup for the last two seasons, and he will be back for a third year in 2021. The 30-year-old was a former second-round pick of the New York Jets and played in just one game last season, completing four passes in five attempts in a Week 17 win over the San Francisco 49ers. Smith will be insurance in case the Seahawks wind up trading Wilson before the 2021 season, although those rumors have cooled off significantly. Smith spent the first four seasons of his NFL career with the Jets before also playing for the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers for single seasons in 2017 and 2018. He did not play at all in 2019 and attempted just four passes for the Chargers in five games in 2018.
