Geno Smith’s contract extension last year with the Seattle Seahawks was considered a win/win, if not a team friendly deal.
Well, fortunately for the Seahawks and unfortunately for Smith, it just became even more favorable to Seattle.
Smith had five $2 million incentive escalators, which would kick in next year if he hit those stats this season.
He did not.
0/5 on incentives so no raise for next year. Got very close to the final one (making playoffs) pic.twitter.com/QCHp8OxIPk

Each one of the incentives was as simple as matching or beating the marks he achieved in 2022.
