The first year of the post-Russell Wilson era has been full of surprises in Seattle — check out the full list of upcoming Seahawks free agents for the 2023 offseason.
Expectations were low for the Seattle Seahawks heading into this year. Quarterback Russell Wilson, who had been at the helm for the past decade, was traded to the Denver Broncos. Remaining QBs Drew Lock and Geno Smith competed for the vacant starting gig, and though the latter won out, there was little expected of him beyond keeping a possibly poor season in the PNW from spinning out of control.
However, as the QB himself put it: “They wrote me off. I ain’t write back, though.”
Quite simply, Geno Smith has had his best season ever. He was selected to the Pro Bowl for the first time in his ninth NFL season, and he’s a compelling pick for Comeback Player of the Year.
He’s also set to become a free agent after his modest one-year deal expires in March.
Looking ahead, Seattle will soon have to make some significant roster decisions on a few of its key players beyond their resurgent signal-caller — Boardroom takes a closer look at all the upcoming Seahawks free agents for the 2023 offseason.
