Seattle Seahawks leaving new Geno Smith deal 'aside' for now

RENTON, Wash. -- Seattle Seahawks general manager John Schneider said Wednesday that he hasn't discussed a new deal with quarterback Geno Smith's representation.

Schneider was asked about an NFL Network report from the Puck Sports podcast earlier this month stating that Smith's camp approached the team about re-doing the quarterback's contract.

"I think I'll leave contract stuff aside," Schneider said. "There's a lot of people that want contract extensions and I'm not going to ... get into specifics of who they are and all that. But that's part of the job. It happens every year, all the time.
