Seahawks Urged to Make Move for Former Super Bowl MVP Quarterback
The Seattle Seahawks rumors continue to swirl about what the team will do at quarterback moving forward. Geno Smith is under contract through the 2025 season. Yet, the Seahawks have an out in his deal this offseason.
Backup Drew Lock will hit free agency in 2024 making his future in Seattle uncertain as well. Bleacher Report’s Matt Holder believes the team should add veteran quarterback Nick Foles to the roster as an insurance policy. Foles is not a permanent solution, but Smith has been dealing with an tricep injury.
“While Geno Smith was healthy enough to play on Thanksgiving, two Sundays ago proved that Drew Lock isn’t a capable backup quarterback,” Holder wrote in a November 27, 2023 article entitled “NFL Team Needs: Prioritizing Every Roster’s Biggest Weaknesses Entering Week 13.” “Adding Foles would give the Seahawks another option to turn to in case Smith gets injured again and/or suffers a setback. Plus, it can’t hurt that Foles has experience winning a Super Bowl as a QB2.”
