The Seattle Seahawks need a quarterback in 2023
The Seattle Seahawks entered the offseason unsure of who would be their starting quarterback in 2023. Geno Smith had a fantastic season after the Seahawks traded away Russell Wilson. Smith made the Pro Bowl as he led the team to the playoffs. But unless the Seahawks extend him soon, another NFL team could sign him in free agency.
The Seahawks are trying to extend Smith. But they’re keeping their options open at the position. The Seahawks, who own the fifth overall draft pick, could draft a quarterback in April. According to Josh Alper, the Seahawks brass is contemplating extending Smith and drafting a quarterback this offseason:
[Seahawks general manager John] Schneider said talks with Smith on a long-term deal have been positive, but he also made it clear that the team doesn’t see signing Smith as closing the door on drafting another quarterback in the first round.
“Because they don’t grow on trees,” Schneider said. “It’s very hard. It’s probably the hardest position to acquire a talent, a guy that everybody feels very confident in.”
It could make sense for the Seahawks to sign Smith and draft a quarterback who could develop for a couple of seasons. Smith had a great season in 2022, but it was the first time helooked like a top-tier starting quarterback in his career.
