Following a crazy week where the team traded Geno Smith and DK Metcalf along with several roster cuts, the Seahawks could be far busier in free agency than usual filling numerous holes on the roster.

Three years ago, John Schneider managed to keep the Seahawks competitive after moving on from Russell Wilson. But with a better roster in tow this time around, pressure mounts with him tasked to find a quality replacement for Geno Smith at a critical time for the franchise.

In a shocking turn of events, rather than dish out a massive extension to retain him, the Seahawks decided to turn the page at quarterback by moving Geno Smith in a blockbuster trade.

Still sitting $6 million over the salary cap, the Seahawks will have to execute some difficult moves coming out of the NFL combine to not only be cap compliant, but have the flexibility to re-sign and add players in free agency.

Attending his first NFL combine as a head coach, Mike Macdonald sees the Seahawks way ahead of schedule compared to a year ago thanks to wholesale changes on their offensive coaching staff.

Conducting business behind the scenes, the Seahawks have sights set on striking new contracts with two of their most important players during or shortly after the annual NFL combine.

Mike Macdonald didn’t fly to Indianapolis for the NFL combine last season as he assembled his first coaching staff, but he will be on site this time around as the Seahawks launch a critical offseason.

With all signs pointing to the Seahawks pursuing an extension for Geno Smith, what will a new deal look like for the veteran quarterback?

John Schneider still has plenty of work left to do shoring up the Seahawks’ financials before free agency begins, but a skyrocketing salary cap will make the process easier.

Checking off an important box before calling a single play in Seattle, Klint Kubiak brought a few respected assistants on board to help him get the Seahawks’ offense back on track in 2025.

For those wondering if Klint Kubiak might have other plans at quarterback, the Seahawks new play caller gave an emphatic vote of confidence for Geno Smith.

Still more than $10 million over the cap, the Seahawks will have to pull several more levers to ready themselves for the start of free agency next month.
