In a recent development, the Seattle Seahawks have informed quarterback Geno Smith that he will remain on the roster for the 2024 season. As per the terms of his contract, Smith's $12.7 million base salary will now be fully guaranteed, solidifying his position with the team.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the Seahawks had until Friday to decide whether to keep Smith on the roster or not. After careful consideration, they have chosen to retain him and grant him the guaranteed salary for the upcoming season.

Smith's contract also includes a substantial $9.6 million roster bonus, which is set to be paid on March 18. Combined with his base salary, Smith's compensation package for the 2024 season is more than reasonable for a starting quarterback.

Having been with the Seahawks for the past two seasons as the starting quarterback, Smith has played well and proved his worth. However, the team's recent coaching changes means he will now have to adapt to a new offensive scheme. His ability to excel in this new system will be crucial in determining his future as the Seahawks' primary option to lead their offense.

As the Seahawks solidify their roster for the upcoming season, the decision to retain Geno Smith highlights the team's confidence in his abilities. With his salary now fully guaranteed, Smith will undoubtedly work hard to prove himself and make a significant impact for the team in the 2024 season.
