Fast forward months later and now he will be writing back, but it will be for his huge new deal. Jordan Schultz reported that the Seahawks and QB Geno Smith are finalizing a three-year extension worth $105 million that includes $52 million in the first year.

He completed 69.8 percent of his passes for 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. He also rushed for 366 yards and a touchdown.
