Seahawks HC Mike Macdonald does not commit to Geno Smith as starting QB

Earlier this offseason, the Seattle Seahawks made it clear quarterback Geno Smith was going to be on this roster for the 2024 season. After restructuring his contract, Smith got commitment from the organization that he is in their plans for the upcoming campaign.

However, simply being on the team seems to be the only commitment he is getting at this time. It is a new regime in Seattle, with a brand new coaching staff. Head coach Mike Macdonald recently went on the radio to talk about his quarterback.

So far, it does not seem like Macdonald is in a hurry to ensure Smith’s starting status for him.

Of course, this is an entirely fair position for Macdonald to have at this time. He is brand new to the head coaching world, and is working with an offensive coordinator who is also enjoying his first NFL stop at this position. It is only logical they would want to evaluate what it is they have in Smith and to see if he can do what they expect of him in their system.

Ultimately, unless a rookie quarterback they draft blows them away, at this time it is probably still a safe bet to assume Smith will be the starter when Week 1 rolls around.
