, and now that the offseason has arrived, the time has come to answer the litany of roster questions the team will face in the coming months. First and foremost, of course, will be figuring things out at the quarterback position, and that means meeting the contract demands of Geno Smith.
With a $32.5M tag for 2023, that’s the starting point for any negotiations on a year contract. If the Seahawks don’t believe he’s worth that much for a single season, they can allow him to depart as a free agent. It’s that simple. In addition, while the team is not yet hurting for cap space for 2023, they currently have 47 players under contract for the upcoming season and are listed byto have $34.28M of cap space. Applying the franchise tag on Geno leaves the team with less than $2M of available cap space, so coming to agreement on a multi-year deal would allow for a lower first year cap hit and give the team the space and flexibility it needs.
That puts the ballpark for deal longer than two years in the high thirties, or somewhere no less than the $115M to $120M range for a three-year contract and somewhere in the ballpark of $150M on a four-year deal.Contracts in the NFL are not overly complex. They tend to mirror the contracts of other players of similar age, experience and skill in terms of length and dollar amounts.
