Commentary: What to pay Geno Smith? Here’s one take that could be fair for both sides FOX13
Let’s start with the biggest offseason question for the Seahawks: Will they re-sign quarterback Geno Smith, and for how much, and for how long?
So what are the numbers? Let’s start with the non-exclusive franchise tag, that will be around $32 million for quarterbacks this upcoming season. If both sides can’t come to an agreement by early March, I fully expect Seattle to place the tag on Geno Smith. That allows the negotiation to continue, and worst case, locks Geno in for another season on essentially another prove-it year for a pretty big chunk of change, unless he’s able to find bigger money elsewhere.
That’s why my offer to Geno Smith would be three years for $80-90 million, with $65 million guaranteed. The three-year deal allows the Seahawks to spread money out to help salary cap space. It’s also comparable to the guaranteed cash Geno would be getting under the non-exclusive franchise tag for the next two years, without any bad blood between both sides during drawn-out negotiations.
