Clearly there will be a market for Geno's services, besides the Seahawks. Will Geno's success be viewed as that of a "system" QB? Geno is now in his 4th year with the Seahawks, 2nd year with OC Shane Waldron.
...an agent who has negotiated high-level quarterback contracts added: “His value is highest with Seattle. He’s been there and he’s a leader who fits the culture of what they do. I honestly don’t know if anyone else would be willing to pay him what Seattle will. He’s just worth more in Seattle because there’s proof it already works there.”
For other teams to view Geno as a "solution" for their QB position, it would need to be a team that runs a similar system to what Geno has been successful with in Seattle, e.g., the McVay/Waldron type of offense. I don't know offhand which teams run similar systems, aside from the Rams and probably Detroit, which is based mostly on observing that ex-Ram Jared Goff is actually doing very well in Detroit. Anyone know which teams run a similar system where Geno would be an upgrade?
...a free agency run for (Geno) likely wouldn’t be the same bonanza it was for Kirk Cousins back in 2018. Although Cousins was 30, he had a longer track record of success and more than a few wildly desperate teams lining up in free agency.

It looks like Geno is in for a payday somewhere between $20-35M per year if the Seahawks re-sign him. Hope they do.
