The New England Patriots are in desperate need of a quarterback upgrade, and an opportunity could arise depending on what the Seahawks do with Geno Smith.
Seattle owes the 33-year-old $12.7 million in base salary next season, which is part of the $22.5 million he’s set to make in 2024. That $12.7 million becomes fully guaranteed this Friday if Smith still is on the roster, per ESPN’s Brady Henderson.
Pete Carroll was a strong supporter of Smith, but it’s unknown how general manager John Schneider and new Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald want to proceed with the position.
