2025 Seahawks QB should be someone cheap, and that ain't Geno. I say let him test the market, the first time he did that (and had a much better year) he got crickets. Crickets again, then bring him back on the cheap.

Good grief. You're not going to get cheaper than Geno, he's got the #19 salary and pretty much everyone underneath him are either on their rookie contract or backups. It is HIGHLY unlikely we'll be getting the 2025 starter from this year's draft. Minshew and Darnold are below Geno, and Darnold is going to get paid this offseason.
Please, can someone point out a QB who will be a free agent this offseason that you think will cost less than Geno AND get better performance? Or at least comparable performance?

Tracking Seahawks QB Geno Smith’s progress towards his contract incentives
Smith is set to have the biggest cap hit on the Seahawks in 2025, and that cap hit is likely to increase in the coming weeks thanks to his on field performance this season.

The Seahawks have no money. Period. Geno cap hit in 2025 is set to be around 44.5 million, he along with a few other players, are costing the team so much money that it will be forced to bargain shop at OLine this offseason and we'll be right back to complaining that the Oline sucks and we should really do something about it.
Geno is 35 years old bridge QB who has been smashing against his ceiling for years now. Only two QB's that age or older lead their team to the promise land (Super Bowl), Tom Brady and Payton Manning. Geno ain't that. This year for him has been so painfully average that you could find another QB's get the same exact numbers he did this year and be exceptionally cheaper.
The talk of, "point to another QB that can perform as Geno" is irrelevant and a trap. You're basically creating excuses to never move on and continuing to expend all your money on a QB that is not impressive in the slightest because maybe he can guarantee you 9-10 wins, maybe if you squint real hard he can also sneak you into the Wild Card and get eliminated too.
Geno doesn't have it. A fine milquetoast QB but not worth his price tag hit in the coming season. Maybe you get a new QB and they fail, big deal, this fan base is deluding themselves if they think they're a season away with Geno as the QB. It's not a major reconstruction but the team still has a lot of work cut out for them.

The fact that two guys at the age of 35 have made a SB in history is reason enough to not call people stupid for thinking we need to do something different.

But, but ,but.....
Bring the man back and let him go up against anyone we might pick up in the off-season, and dude will be the starter!
[*Dude will be the starter is based on the condition the QB we pick up doesn't become our ballin' QBOTF--+89.8% probability of not happening]

You're asking for details of a good QB who will play for less than he's worth. 32 GMs want those details.

No worries, Russell Wilson is coming back after he read your post. Wilson shall be so touched and motivated that he will accept a payout.

The secret is a good dose of luck and an ideal situation. Most of the time it ends up in sadness or signing Ryan Fitzpatrick the every other year that he's a free agent. Which, come to thinking of it I think Wilson is this generations Ryan Fitzpatrick at this juncture in his career.

It's pot luck. Signing Darnold worked out for the Vikings. Signing Minshew didn't work out for the Raiders. The Falcons saved at the QB position in 2023 and it didn't work out. Change at least brings fresh hope.

Hell no to Russ coming back. Little to zero chance.
But..........imagine this place if he did.

I still think Spin Doctor nailed it. The Vikings should be looked at as the template. They had Cousins who is similar to Geno, had a longer history of better play and the easy thing for them to do is just keep Cousins because how are you going to replace 30 touchdowns a year? They brought in Darnold and drafted a guy and I would say they did just fine this year. Now Seattle may not have the pieced to replicate a guy like Darnold. But no one thought Darnold would do what he did this year yet he did. I trust John/Mike to evaluate and weigh all the options.
My only point is I'm open to someone different than Geno. I'm also open to him being the best option for one more year too if it works out that way. The goal should be a Super bowl though and two guys Geno's age have made it Manning and Brady, he's neither so at some point you're going to have to assume some risk if the goal is playoff success right? Is that such a bad argument that we need to joke all day lone about GeNO's?

Maybe I'm getting soft, but I'm more open to the idea of trading for Joe Milton. Josh Allen size & arm strength, seems like someone Schneider would like. But I would like to keep Geno for one final season and have Milton have 2 seasons under his belt before being named the starter.
