Mike Macdonald ‘very confident’ in Geno Smith, doesn’t envision QB competition with Sam Howell

Seattle Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald is at the NFL’s annual league meeting in Orlando, and we’ll be hearing from him quite a bit over the next few days.

At the time Macdonald was hired by Seattle back in February, quarterback Geno Smith didn’t have his salary guaranteed, and Macdonald was fairly diplomatic and noncommittal regarding the futures of both Smith and Drew Lock. With Smith’s 2024 salary now secure and his contract restructured, Lock gone to the New York Giants, and Sam Howell acquired via trade, the quarterback picture looks a little different.
