Geno Smith had the difficult task of leading the Seattle Seahawks forward after the Russell Wilson era. There are few moderate opinions about him among fans, most of whom either love him or hate him. And that was reflected in the reactions to his new three-year contract signed last offseason.
Among this team, there was a desire among fans for the team to draft a new quarterback. That did not happen in any of the three drafts after the Wilson trade. However, the team swapped picks with the Washington Commanders and acquired QB Sam Howell.
