Sure hope so, wouldn’t want some bright new young talent behind that Oline
2 years 80 million with an out after 1 year would be smart, draft a rookie once we get an actual o line
I don’t see why not. He is ballin out and seems like an amazing influence in the locker room. If our Oline wasn’t made of glass he might actually have time to develope plays. This next draft is really going to set the tone for the team over the next couple of years. MM need to develope his culture, expectations, and player responsibility.

Hard to be consistently good when your o line is abysmal and you got this regime change going on
Well if we can get him for a great deal than yes.
Coming to the remaining rubble of Black Rock Stadium Seattle in 2063: the mummified robo corpse of Geno Smith!
He will somehow lead the league in passing through seven weeks as the team goes 4-18 and exits the playoffs in the pre-pre-wildcard play in weekend after failing to score an offensive touchdown against the Mexico City Jaguars. The tube-grown 19 year old Pete Carroll clone in the broadcast booth pops his gum into the mike enthusiastically as he recalls implanted memories from the good old days.
John Schneider declines to pick a QB in the subsequent draft, bypassing the annual genetically engineered crossbreed of Tom Brady and Patrick Mahomes in favor of a PAC-8 running back who loudly refuses to undergo league standard cybernetic enhancements.
Doubt it.
If they were going to make a run they would have made it by now. It’s time to give up on Geno. It’s time for the Howell era
Has Sam really been that unimpressive? Not saying he’s guaranteed to be great but I liked him in Washington and felt he got done dirty between a shitty oline, coach who knew he was fired and didn’t give a shit, and a new owner coming in. I haven’t really heard anything from him since you guys traded for him
Draft a rookie QB and play Howell. Spend Geno’s money on an OLine
Build an O line, draft a rookie, in that order
Have people seen the cap outlook for next year?? New Geno contract plus several players that are up to negotiating a new deal – Cross, Mafe, the new LB we just traded for, DK. How are we going to afford an OL? It would be a mistake going all in and getting ourselves into more cap hell when this team is already capped out at being mid.
Some of these takes really makes me wonder if you guys watch any other teams. Drafting a decent QB in the top 10 is hard, let alone where our pick will be. Mobile QBs still get sacked, they have to be able to move the ball down the field and few do that as well as Geno has been.
This team still needs a lot of work in the trenches. If they can get Geno for cheap then fine, otherwise they’d be better off just getting someone on the cheap for next season. Geno isn’t the future, he’s just a stop gap. I’m not saying that to be disrespectful, I think he’s a good player and a warrior. But I just don’t see why anyone would pay him more than he’s making now.
I’d much rather invest in a young guy who could be the franchise QB but if they don’t cut Geno next year I think they’ll restructure his deal and tack on a year or two.
Guys it’s really not Geno. The o-line is so fucking bad we can’t just put another QB back there and expect different results. Fix the o-line.
Ideally we would sign him to a short contract and find a rookie he can teach for a year or two.
BTW, there are no league rules against looking for a QB and trying to fix the OL at the same time. It’s never going to be a perfect situation. If you have a shot at a QB you think can legitimately be the team’s long-term leader, passing on him to take an average OG simply because “we need o-line” would be stupid.
They don’t need to bring in a rookie or star until there’s a workable offensive line.
Rational fan takes in 3 … 2…. 1 ….
Let Geno walk and tank the season for Archie Manning
Tank for Lander Barton
After reading about our cap situation last night, an extension that backloads some of Geno’s salary is really the only option unless we want to commit to rolling the first-round QB dice this offseason.
I think we keep him on for another year or two on a team friendly deal to give us time to shore up badly needed positions namely OL and Linebacker and to hopefully either get howell balling out or land a star QB in the ’26 draft with most of the other pieces set to be ready around them
He also asked JS to hire an offensive minded coach… so not sure he has much say
The game is won and lost at the lines..
Don’t flame me but when was the last time Holmgren has been relevant for news in the NFL? He isn’t around the team nor is he really working with any team in the NFL or media. They might as well as Pete Carroll too while they’re at it.
Please God no. The idea of paying 35+ year old Geno $40m is horrendous
Ummmm id rather reserve cap space for our actually talented and long term players.
Hope not. Keep him for his one remaining contract year and move on. He’s part of the reason this team is stuck in no man’s land.
They’re not good enough with him to be legit contenders but they’re not bad enough to bottom out. It’s where they’ve been for years and where they’ll stay if they commit to Geno.
