Geno Smith's three-year contract with the Seahawks already stacked up well against other starting quarterbacks and the contract keeps looking better for the franchise.
Quarterbacks have long been the most expensive players on NFL rosters and it makes sense why they are because they touch the ball every play, making them the most valuable players in professional sports.struck a deal to trade Russell Wilson, they were heavily criticized for not having a contingency plan in place. All they had wasand Drew Lock. Neither had proven themselves to be a quality starting quarterback and the criticism was fair at the time.
On Thursday night, the Jacksonville Jaguars signed quarterback Trevor Lawrence to a massive five-year extension worth $275 million with $200 million in guarantees. That's an incredible deal for Lawrence, who has struggled somewhat to meet lofty expectations after being the first overall pick in the 2021 NFL Draft.
Digging through all of the basic stats such as passing yards, completion percentage and touchdowns, Smith and Lawrence are fairly similar, but it's the efficiency metrics where Smith has been most comparable and actually has been the slightly better quarterback in most metrics.
