Geno Smith knows what is at stake entering the Seahawks' season finale, but he isn't going to chase incentives at the expense of his team winning.

Set to play an age-35 season next year, Smith is moving toward QB limbo. He will again pursue a commitment from the Seahawks in 2025, according to Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer, who adds the team is expected to do work on a potential successor.

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

Seattle won't make the playoffs for the second consecutive campaign, despite winning records in both 2023 and 2024. That argues for both benching quarterback Geno Smith this weekend and potentially moving on from him over the offseason.

Beyond 2025, the Seahawks should be on the lookout for a future signal caller, but the franchise has bigger fish to fry after missing the playoffs.

For one thing, there's a lot of money on the line in potential bonuses for head coach Mike Macdonald and his players. Macdonald told reporters earlier this week he'll be playing his starters in an effort to get that 10th win of the season.

Geno Smith has had quite the year for the Seattle Seahawks. He’s third in the league in passing yards per game, trailing only Joe Burrow and Jared Goff, and is one of just four starters in the NFL completing more than 70% of their passes, all while leading the Seahawks to a 5-1 record against NFC West competition to keep them in playoff contention.
