Geno Smith Cashes in After Big Game to Close Season

Geno Smith didn’t earn a playoff birth this season, but he ended his season a big winner nonetheless. Smith’s performance in Seattle’s regular season finale unlocked $6 million in incentives in his contract.

On Sunday, Smith led the Seahawks to a 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams while throwing for 223 yards, completing 74.1% of his passes and tossing a career-high four touchdowns.

Five years ago, Geno Smith was released and signed as a backup QB.

Two years later, he was a Pro Bowler and won Comeback Player of the Year.

Smith, 34, needed 10 wins, a passing completion rate of 69.755% or higher, more than 4,282 passing yards during the 2024 season to gain an extra $2 million for each achievement.

The Seahawks finished with a 10-7 record on the year as he totaled 4,320 yards and a completion rate over 70%.
