Mike Macdonald wants Geno Smith back in 2025

Seattle: So, Mike Macdonald really wants Geno Smith to stick around for another season. He’s been the starting quarterback for three years now, and Macdonald thinks he’s a solid player.

Macdonald told reporters he believes Geno is the best fit for the team right now. He’s all in on keeping him, but ultimately, it’s up to the Seahawks’ management to make that call.

John Schneider, the G.M., has the final say on the roster decisions, especially after the coaching changes last year. Geno signed a three-year, $75 million deal, but the Seahawks can opt out after this season.

With a $16 million roster bonus coming up in March, the team needs to decide quickly if they want to keep him for another year. There’s also the question of whether he’ll get a contract extension.

Even though Smith wanted a new deal after the last season, it didn’t happen. But Macdonald’s message is clear: he wants Geno back.

Macdonald praised Geno’s performance and is excited about building on what they achieved together. He feels they could have done even better as a team.

One thing to consider is the new offensive coordinator. Will they bring in someone who can maximize Geno’s skills, or will he have to adjust to a new system?

Macdonald mentioned that understanding the new coach’s vision will be crucial. They need to figure out how to best use the players they have.

At 34, Smith believes he still has plenty of good years ahead. The Seahawks could either keep him for the last year of his contract or offer him a longer deal for more security.

The tricky part will be figuring out what his value is. The top quarterbacks are making around $60 million, so where does Geno fit in?

Last season, he threw for over 4,300 yards and had 21 touchdowns, which is pretty impressive. But if the Seahawks decide to move on, they’ll need to think about who could replace him.
