Seahawks expected to sign quarterback Geno Smith to compete for backup job behind Russell Wilson

After the Seahawks’ three-day rookie minicamp May 3-5, coach Pete Carroll assessed “it was hard” on all three of the quarterbacks in attendance, strongly hinting at the team making a change in the depth chart at that spot to add to the competition behind Russell Wilson and Paxton Lynch.

And two reports Monday morning, later confirmed by the Seattle Times, indicated the Seahawks have found their man to try to bolster the group — former New York Jets starter Geno Smith.

A report from ESPN’s Jordan Raanan on Monday said that Smith is “expected to sign” with Seattle soon.
