The Seahawks have agreed to re-sign Geno Smith on a one-year deal, as NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport tweets. Smith first joined Seattle almost exactly one year ago today and spent the year in Seattle, though he did not see time on the field. 
Smith couldn’t have expected much playing time as he sat behind Russell Wilson, who has never missed a game in his eight-year career. He also probably didn’t expect to be released in late August and re-signed on September 1, but that’s exactly what happened.
The Jets installed Smith as their No. 1 QB after selecting him the second round of the 2013 draft, but Smith never looked the part of a starter. The Jets managed an 8-8 record in Smith’s first year under center, but Gang Green went just 3-10 in his second season. He was looking for redemption in 2015, but that campaign was erased by the fist of teammate IK Enemkpali in a locker room fight. If not for the ButtFumble, that incident would probably stand as the most infamous in modern Jets history. Smith, who is now years removed from his original team, may never shake that from his legacy.
In 2018, Smith hooked on with the Chargers, but threw only four passes as Philip Rivers‘ backup. Before that, he spent a year with the Giants, mostly behind Eli Manning but famously started one game ahead of him (much to the fans’ chagrin). This time around, Smith will look to find his place on the roster as he competes against undrafted rookie free agent QB Anthony Gordon.
quality backup I hope they or the gaints sign him
What? Didn’t this article plainly say Seattle resigned him?
Easy, it’s a NY sports fan.
But the giants dont play in new york
True, but they are less than a half an hour away from New York.
Canada is less than half an hour away from U.S.A.
Too much trouble to do that!
I posted before article changed from thinking about it to resigning him
HC Carroll should make Smith the starter for the season opener against the Falcons. Geno has a 147.7 passer rating against the birds.
It’s called playing the percentages! – Monty Burns
Lol
Why?
Good to see that he has graduated from the Chase Daniel school of contract signing.
Imagine your two most notable career moments being getting sucker-punched by a teammate and serving as the one responsible for disrupting Eli’s “streak,” simultaneously pissing off Giants fans nationwide
Both not really his fault.
naw he deserved that punch.
I dunno….his pouting on draft day when he fell to the second round was pretty epic too. (Looks like everyone was right on him….except the jets for taking him in the 2nd)
If I recall, his Wonderlic score was negative.
Hide him in Seattle, not going anywhere.
Good move.
