"We hope to get an extension with Geno," Schneider said. "Geno knows he’s our guy. We love him and we want to keep going forward." Schneider added that it will be preliminary discussions in which the Seahawks get a ballpark sense of what Smith will be looking for when negotiations begin in earnest.

Seahawks GM John Schneider says team will meet with Geno Smith’s agents this week to begin talks on an extension.

Schneider said there is no deadline but says Smith is “our guy.” It has been expected all offseason that Geno would remain with the Seahawks. The question was when an extension would come as it would help open up cap space for Seattle. It sounds like an extension could be agreed upon soon.

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald, when asked on Monday, Jan. 6, about QB Geno Smith's prospects to return in 2025, said, "I got no reason to say no. So, I guess, yeah."

Smith and the Seahawks won 10 games in 2024, and while the QB had some inconsistency throughout the season (most INTs since his rookie season), he showed some promise as well (top five in completion percentage, career-high passing yardage, and best turnover-worthy play rate since joining Seattle). It would be more ideal to hear a head coach commit to his QB, and trade rumors will likely be common throughout the offseason in a scarce market, but there's little reason to believe Smith will be anywhere else in 2025, at least for now.

Geno Smith completed 20-of-27 passing attempts for 223 yards and four touchdowns in Sunday's 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Smith played well in Seattle's season finale on Sunday, throwing four touchdowns en route to a win over their divisional rivals. He had a solid season overall, and it looks like he will remain Seattle's starting quarterback for the 2025 season, barring anything unforeseen over the course of the offseason.

Geno Smith completed 17-of-23 pass attempts for 160 yards while also rushing three times for 19 yards in the Seahawks' 6-3 Week 17 win over the Bears.

Fantasy Impact

Smith has offered inconsistent results behind center, passing for less than 250 yards in four of his last five games. The quarterback remains a risky option for fantasy managers to trust in lineups ahead of a Week 18 matchup against the Los Angeles Rams.
