Seahawks HC Pete Carroll wants Geno Smith back with the team next season. "I'd like to get Geno hooked up and get him back," Carroll said. "He showed us a good deal of command of our offense when he played last year and he has a terrific understanding of it so he's out in front of the other guys [in the QB competeiton]."

Fantasy Impact
With a departing Russell Wilson and Drew Lock as de facto QB1, a Geno Smith return to Seattle gives the eight-year pro a fighting chance to start [for now]. Smith totaled a 1-2 record last season in relief for an injured Wilson. He threw for 702 yards, totaled a 68.4% completion percentage, and posted a 5:1 touchdown-to-interception ratio. That said, the Seahawks hold the ninth pick in this year's NFL Draft, while vet bridge options such as Baker Mayfield and Jimmy Garoppolo are available via trade.
