Seattle Seahawks head coach Pete Carroll told reporters Tuesday that the team is still open to picking a quarterback with the No. 5 selection in the 2023 NFL draft even after re-signing veteran Geno Smith to a multiyear contract.
Bob Condotta of the Seattle Times relayed remarks.
Bob Condotta @bcondottaAsked if Seahawks could still take a QB despite signing Smith, Carroll says "that opportunity is absolutely there'' and notes again that drafting at 5 a lot different than drafting lower down.
Smith, who will turn 33 in October, just won Comeback Player of the Year honors after completing 69.
