Crazy thought, I think the rest of league looks at Seattle and thinks Carroll plays his QBs differently and if they decide to look into Geno Smith, they might not have the same level of success that Carroll had, being Wilson also an example.
I think teams will hesitate on considering if Geno can play for their team. Leverage, Seattle. Seattle, IMO, will keep Geno, for not much, actually, a Seattle generous contract.
I am still sticking with my thoughts that Carroll will load up on defense this draft and go all in with Geno for the next 2-3 years knowing full well Geno can play Carroll ball and teammates actually like Geno.
Geno will play out his anticipated new contract with Seattle for the next 2-3 years (Seattle wins the February 2025 Super Bowl) and Carroll will consider retiring after his second Super Bowl win.
Bold prediction!
