Geno Smith is having a phenomenal season for the Seahawks, and is likely to cash in as a free agent in the spring. The Hawks have the franchise tag at their disposal, but the tag will hand Geno a boatload of leverage in negotiation.
at Lumen Field in a game played at a reasonable time Sunday. However that game turns out, one of the biggest questions for the Hawks during the offseason, and a topic that has become a common subject of discussion among Seattle fans is what kind of contract it might take to retain Geno Smith.
That is not something that would prevent the Seahawks from using the tag, however, it is something that could potentially cause some headaches. Getting right to the heart of the issue is the fact that while salary cap sites like OTC have the team projected to have $53.7M of salary cap space for 2023, that number does not include a complete roster, as the team currently has just 33 players signed for next season.
Putting all those pieces of the puzzle together, without making moves to free up additional cap space, the Seahawks are not currently in a position to have the ability to apply the franchise tag. Now, there are certainly ways to create that space, whether it means moving on from Shelby Harris or Gabe Jackson, but with every potential move, there are additional questions created that need answered.
