The big news concerning the Seattle Seahawks’ cap situation was the decision to guarantee quarterback Geno Smith’s $12.7 million base salary for the 2024 season. February 16 was the deadline to either guarantee the salary or release Geno and save nearly $14 million in cap money, and Seattle opted to keep Smith on the roster. If he isn’t traded by March 18, when his $9.6 million roster bonus is due, then it’s a near certainty that he’ll be the Seahawks’ starting QB come September.
Meanwhile, there were three other Seahawks whose full or partial salary guarantees were set in stone on Friday.
