The couple has experienced some bumps in the road, but she has been a constant in his life since 2015.</p><h2><b>Geno Smith, Haley Eastham’s relationship</b></h2><p>The couple have known each other since college, but it is unconfirmed if they have been together ever since. During Smith’s early professional days, there were rumors about scandals involving Smith.</p><p>A woman named Kristen Stubbs was connected to Smith ever since his days with the New York Jets, and the two were pictured together. However, they have not been tied together since the early 2010s, so it seems that was the end of their relationship.</p><p>In 2014, there was a scandal about infidelity in Smith’s life. A woman from Atlanta revealed that Smith was flying her to different locations to meet him while he had a girlfriend. The woman said that she was unaware that Smith had a girlfriend and was shocked to hear the news.</p><p>It is to be assumed that the alleged girlfriend at the time was Eastham, but the couple tying the knot the following year means that the scandal worked itself out.</p><h2><b>Geno Smith’s son</b></h2><p>Smith and Eastham do not have a child together, but Smith has a son, Santana, from a different relationship. Smith and Eastham are raising Santana, so it seems like she has taken on the role of his caregiver even if she is not his actual mother. The family often attend Smith’s games.</p><p>Eastham’s sticking with Smith through the scandals and raising his son tells you everything about her love for him. Even though he has been with other people since meeting Eastham at West Virginia, she continues to stand by his side as his wife. The couple now seem to be happily married and living together in Seattle.</p><p>This is all we know about Geno Smith’s wife, Haley Eastham.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

Quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-geno-smith-drops-fiery-take-ot-win-patriots">Geno Smith played well and was fired up after the Seahawks overtime win</a>. Seattle’s signal caller dropped back to throw 44 times against New England, completing 33 passes for 327 yards and a touchdown with no interceptions.</p><p>As good as Smith was overall, he was <a href="https://x.com/_AndrewCallahan/status/1835776880164897136" rel="noopener">at his best</a> when the Patriots formidable defense blitzed the Seahawks. On New England blitzes, Smith went 10/12 for 171 and a score, according to the Boston Herald’s Andrew Callahan. He was only sacked once via the blitz and one of his two incompletions when the Patriots blitzed was a drop.</p><p>New England had some success early but was unable to hold off the Seahawks who won by a field goal in overtime. Smith’s Week Two counterpart, Patriots quarterback Jacoby Brissett went 15/27 for 149 and a touchdown with no interceptions on the day. Still, New England had trouble moving the ball over the second half of the game, prompting coach <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/patriots-news-jerod-mayo-change-ne-must-make-narrow-loss-seahawks">Jerod Mayo to call for changes on the offense</a>, including pushing the ball downfield.</p><p>The Seahawks are now 2-0 and atop the NFC West. Seattle beat the Denver Broncos 26-20 in the season opener last week. In that game, Smith completed 18 passes for 171 yards with one touchdown and one interception. He added 30 yards on four rush attempts and another score.</p><h2><b>Geno Smith and the Seahawks passing game were on full display in New England</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Geno-Smith.jpg"><figcaption>David Butler II-Imagn Images</figcaption></figure><p>Star wideout DK Metcalf was held to just three receptions for 29 scoreless yards in the team’s Week One win. However, <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-dk-metcalf-makes-up-for-quiet-week-1-56-yard-td-vs-patriots">Metcalf made up for the quiet first week with a 56-yard touchdown</a> against the Patriots. On the day he led all Seattle receivers with 10 catches for 129 yards and a score. He also tried an <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-dk-metcalf-shares-inspiration-failed-td-celebration">awkward George Washington-inspired celebration for his long touchdown</a> but it didn’t go over very well in New England.</p><p>The Seahawks came away with the hard fought road victory despite <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-seattle-dealt-2-tough-injury-blows-week-2-patriots">dealing with two major injuries for the Week Two matchup with the Patriots</a>. Seattle was without starting running back Kenneth Walker, who was sidelined with an oblique strain as well as right tackle George Fant, who’s dealing with a knee ailment.</p><p>The team relied heavily on Smith and the passing game with Walker out. Backup running back Zach Charbonnet had 14 carries for just 38 yards against New England. He did, however, score one of the team’s two touchdowns in Week Two.</p><p>Seattle will return home for next week’s matchup with the Miami Dolphins. They will square off with a Dolphins team that’s missing starting quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/dolphins-news-tua-tagovailoa-set-to-meet-with-neurologists-after-latest-concussion">Tua Tagovailoa after he suffered another concussion during Week Two</a>.

It’s a dream come true just to be here. Whenever I’m in this situation and the game is on the line, I’m so happy and just excited for those opportunities. I look forward to them actually. I know it’s going to happen more and more times throughout the season. The best quarterbacks always find ways to win.

Smith is the starting quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. Back in college, Smith was an Orange Bowl MVP and All-Big East team member. Let’s take a closer look at Geno Smith’s net worth in 2024 as he prepares for this third season as the starting QB for the Seahawks. </p><h2><b>What is Geno Smith’s net worth in 2024?: $5 million (estimate)</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Geno-Smiths-net-worth-in-20242.jpg"></figure><p>Geno Smith’s net worth in 2024 <a href="https://www.sportskeeda.com/nfl/geno-smith-net-worth" rel="noopener">is $5 million</a>. This is according to reputable outlets such as Sportskeeda.</p><p>Geno Smith was born in Miami. He attended Miramar High School. Smith also played for the school’s football team. While playing for Miramar, Smith is ranked as the third-best passer in Broward County history. He threw for 3,089 yards and 32 touchdowns. </p><p>After high school, Smith went on to play for West Virginia. While suiting up for the Mountaineers, he made the First-team All-Big East and Second-team All-Big East in 2011 and 2010, respectively. Smith’s four-year college career saw him finish with 11,662 yards thrown and 98 touchdowns. </p><h2><b>Geno Smith is drafted by the Jets</b></h2><p>After a decent college career and a respectable showing in the NFL Scouting Combine, there were expectations that Smith would be taken in the first round of the 2013 NFL Draft. However, Smith was taken in the second round by the New York Jets with the 39th pick. Shortly after, Smith eventually signed his rookie contract, which is a <a href="https://www.nfl.com/news/geno-smith-signs-new-york-jets-rookie-contract-0ap1000000219435#:~:text=The%20Jets%20announced%20Monday%20that,is%20worth%20about%20%245%20million.">four-year deal worth $5 million</a>. </p><p>Smith stayed with the Jets for four seasons. He accumulated 5,962 passing yards and tallied 28 touchdowns. Smith’s stay with the Jets was marred with various off-the-court scandals and injuries. On top of that, Smith didn’t really play up to expectations, which resulted in his exit. </p><h2><b>Geno Smith signs with Giants, Chargers</b></h2><p>As a result, in March 2017, Smith joined the New York Giants on a one-year deal that paid him a <a href="https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2688748-geno-smith-reportedly-to-sign-contract-with-giants-after-4-seasons-with-jets">$775,000 base salary</a>. While his stint with the Jets was forgettable, Smith’s stay with the Giants was uneventful. </p><p>Although Smith managed to take on a starting role, he only appeared in two games for the 2017 season. Smith tallied 212 passing yards and one touchdown. </p><p>After his uneventful stint with the Giants, Smith went on to play for the Los Angeles Chargers. He signed a <a href="https://www.osdbsports.com/nfl/players/geno-smith/contracts/cfc93f5e-105e-4a5e-88d3-f4279893cfa8">one-year contract worth $1 million</a>. Unfortunately, Smith’s stint in Los Angeles wasn’t a head turner. Although he did appear in more games with five, Smith only tallied 8 passing yards. </p><h2><b>Geno Smith signs with Seahawks</b></h2><p>After bouncing around with the Giants and the Chargers, Smith became a free agent after the 2018 season. In May 2019, Seattle Seahawks head coach <a href="https://seahawkswire.usatoday.com/2019/05/15/seattle-seahawks-sign-backup-quarterback-geno-smith/">wasn’t satisfied with the performance of his rookies</a> during the minicamp. As a result, the team picked up Smith from free agency. </p><p>Smith agreed to join the Seahawks on a <a href="https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/seattle-seahawks/geno-smith-12320/transactions/">one-year contract worth $895,000</a>. While Smith was eventually released, the organization signed him up again for the 2020 season as the team’s backup for the quarterback position. His fresh deal saw him ink a one-year, $1.19 million contract. </p><p>Smith made his first appearance in a Seahawks uniform in the 2020 season. In a 40-3 victory over the Jets, Smith tallied 33 passing yards. Despite only playing one game for the season, it was enough for the Seahawks to keep him as the team’s backup quarterback to Russell Wilson. </p><p>In 2021, Smith signed a one-year deal to rejoin the Seahawks, which paid him <a href="https://sports.yahoo.com/seattle-seahawks-backup-qb-geno-005018696.html?src=rss">$1.2 million</a>. This, obviously, did help to add to Geno Smith’s net worth in 2024.</p><p>During the 2021 season, Smith played in four games for the Seahawks and started in three of them. With him playing, the Seahawks posted a 1-2 record. He tallied a much improved 702 passing yards, five touchdowns, and one interception. </p><h2><b>Geno Smith becomes Seahawks’ starting QB</b></h2><figure class="op-interactive"><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p dir="ltr" lang="en">Geno wrote back ✍️ </p><p>Geno Smith is the Comeback Player of the Year 👏 <a href="https://t.co/374VU4PV52">pic.twitter.com/374VU4PV52</a></p><p>— ESPN (@espn) <a href="https://twitter.com/espn/status/1623881084856311808?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">February 10, 2023</a></p></blockquote><p><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script></p></figure><p>In 2022, everything changed for Smith. Smith was expected to contend for the starting spot for the Seahawks after they had traded away <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/broncos-news-denver-agrees-to-massive-blockbuster-trade-for-star-seahawks-qb-russell-wilson/" rel="noopener">Wilson to the Denver Broncos</a>. Thus, the team offered Smith a <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/04/19/seahawks-announce-theyve-re-signed-geno-smith/">one-year deal worth $3.5 million</a>, which could potentially jump to $7 million with incentives and bonuses. </p><p>However, the <a href="https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/04/19/nfl-disapproves-geno-smiths-contract-with-seahawks-but-issue-is-expected-to-be-resolved/">contract originally was rendered void</a> after the NFL rejected the terms of the deal. Fortunately, this was <a href="https://www.cbssports.com/fantasy/football/news/seahawks-geno-smith-has-contract-reworked/#:~:text=The%20NFL%20disapproved%20the%20contract,%243.5%20million%20more%20in%20incentives.">amended</a> after new terms of the contract were approved by the league. </p><p>Smith then surpassed all expectations by leading the Seahawks to a 9-8 record and Wild Card berth in the NFL Playoffs. He passed for more than 4,000 yards and 30 touchdowns on a nearly 70 percent completion rate while throwing just 11 interceptions.</p><p>Smith was named to the Pro Bowl and was voted the NFL Comeback Player of the Year. The <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-seattle-geno-smith-agree-contract-extension-strong-2022-campaign" rel="noopener">Seahawks rewarded Smith</a> with a three-year, $105 million contract, which will certainly boost Smith’s net worth going forward, not to mention please <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/geno-smiths-wife-haley-eastham" rel="noopener">Smith’s wife Haley Eastham</a>.</p><p>Smith’s numbers dropped a bit in 2023, but he once again made the Pro Bowl.

The signal-caller had tests done on the ailments and thankfully there was no serious damage, which is huge news for Seattle ahead of the 2024 season.</p><p>The Seahawks will be relying on Geno to hopefully lead them to the playoffs after missing out last season with a 9-8 record. Sam Howell and PJ Walker have been getting most of the reps in Smith’s absence at camp. Howell was the starter for the Washington Commanders last season and will likely be Smith’s backup.</p><p>Geno earned a massive three-year, $103 million extension after the 2022 season where he threw for over 4,000 yards. However, the veteran took a step back in 2023, completing 64.7% of his throws for 20 touchdowns against nine interceptions and 3,624 passing yards. Smith was a spectator at practice on Saturday and head coach Mike MacDonald made it clear his quarterback would be back soon:</p><p>“We’re still going through that process but it looks optimistic,” Macdonald said.</p><h2><b>Geno Smith looking for bounce-back season with Seahawks</b></h2><p>There’s no doubt Smith’s numbers were solid last year, but for a guy who is getting paid a lot of money for a 33-year-old, he’s expected to be getting this team to the playoffs every season. That’s the reality. Geno initially injured his knee and hip last Tuesday at practice before missing some time. His health is the No. 1 priority for the Seahawks. Although Howell has starting experience, Smith is who Seattle wants under center. He has solid weapons at his disposal as well in DK Metcalf, Jaxon Smith-Njigba, and Tyler Lockett.</p><p>MacDonald has liked what he’s seen from Howell, but he’s also looking forward to having Geno running the show again. Via ESPN:</p><p>“I thought our offense looks like our offense, but we’re excited to get Geno back, too,” Macdonald said. “It’s just a good opportunity for Sam to be with those guys rather than run with the twos the whole time. … I’m sure if you talk to Sam, he’s got things that he wants to improve on, but he’s also getting the ball out, getting it to our playmakers too, so a lot of good as well.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-biggest-seahawks-training-camp-battles-watch-ahead-2024-nfl-season">The Seahawks</a> begin their preseason against the Los Angeles Rams on Saturday at SoFi Stadium.

Starting quarterback Geno Smith looks to be a big part of that quest to get back to the playoffs.</p><p>However, he <a href="https://x.com/RapSheet/status/1819827162771226946" rel="noopener">was held out</a> of <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/3-biggest-seahawks-training-camp-battles-watch-ahead-2024-nfl-season">Saturday’s Seahawks training camp</a> practice, according to NFL insider Ian Rapoport.</p><p>“After tests on his knee and hip over the last few days, Geno Smith will sit out today,” reported Rapoport via X, formerly Twitter. “I’m told he’s expected back at practice early next week.”</p><p>The hiring of Macdonald as head coach was the biggest move made by Seahawks GM John Schneider. The second biggest? Trading for 2023 Washington Commanders signal caller Sam Howell. The former North Carolina quarterback <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/sam-howell-trade-grades-seahawks-commanders-deal">started all 17 games for the Commanders</a> last season, throwing for just under 4,000 passing yards (3,946 to be precise) to go with a 21:21 touchdown to interception ratio.</p><h2><b>Geno Smith, Sam Howell heading into Seahawks’ quarterback tilt?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Seahawks-QB-Geno-Smith-scaled.jpg"><figcaption>Mandatory Credit: Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Schneider and Macdonald have been busy since the GM hired the new head coach from the Baltimore Ravens. <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-seattle-hire-ravens-mike-macdonald-head-coach">Macdonald served as the defensive coordinator</a> there for the past two seasons and was at the University of Michigan in the same post for a season before that. The duo then traded for Howell, and drafted a deep class led by first round pick Byron Murphy II. In free agency, they added veteran players such as outside linebacker Jerome Baker and guard Laken Tomlinson.</p><p>With a retooled roster, the goal is to win the NFC West and return to the postseason. In order to accomplish that goal, the Seahawks will need the best player at every spot on the roster, including at quarterback. So, a quarterback competition between Smith and Howell might show Macdonald and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-ryan-grubb-heading-to-seattle-as-oc-after-hinting-alabama-fans-not-leaving">new offensive coordinator Ryan Grubb</a> (he arrives from a stint as offensive coordinator at the University of Washington) who has the brightest present versus future.</p><h2><b>Seahawks will still compete for playoff spot regardless of starting QB</b></h2><p>Even with just the steady play that Smith provided them while healthy last season, Seattle is a likely playoff team in the NFC. They are likely are a wild card squad, due to the presence of the San Francisco 49ers, last year’s NFC Champions. Yet in an offense that will be coordinated by one of the hottest offensive minds in football, the Seahawks are a threat to both their conference and the league. Veteran studs like wide receivers DK Metcalf and Tyler Lockett impact almost every game they play in, and running back Kenneth Walker II is looking to rebound in year three.</p><p>All of those elements, plus former first-rounders at left tackle (Charles Cross) and tight end (Noah Fant), make this an offense that Smith or Howell would be lucky to lead. Whatever the outcome is at quarterback, it <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-jaxon-smith-njigba-poised-for-massive-role-in-seattles-offense">feels like the Seahawks</a> will be in good hands with the amount of talent this unit has.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

The team recently had a <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-geno-smith-concerning-practice-update">brief injury scare related to QB Geno Smith</a>. Fortunately, it sounds like the Seahawks’ starter avoided any serious injuries.</p><p>Yesterday ESPN’s Brady Henderson reported that Seahawks QB Geno Smith will undergo testing after missing the team’s last two practices. Head coach Mike Macdonald <a href="https://x.com/BradyHenderson/status/1819150934536343734" rel="noopener">confirmed the injuries, saying that</a> “he’s working through a couple things from the other day. But we’ll get some imaging tonight, and we’ll see.”</p><p>Thankfully, ESPN’s Adam Schefter <a href="https://x.com/AdamSchefter/status/1819375924732637602" rel="noopener">just provided an update</a> that includes some good news. Schefter reports that testing on Smith’s knee and hip injuries did not reveal anything significant. One source said that “he shouldn’t miss any time.”</p><p>We hope that Geno Smith can remain healthy for the remainder of the 2024 season. Injuries slowed down the beginning of Smith’s career, but he stayed relatively healthy until last season. In 2023, Smith dealt with both a triceps strain and a pulled groin in the second half of the season.</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-geno-smith-speechless-dk-metcalf-catch">Smith has looked good</a> when out on the practice field.

He has already set up his own style of coaching with the team at Seahawks training camp. However, they may have just been set back by<a href="https://clutchpoints.com/will-seahawks-geno-smith-be-qb1-in-2024-mike-macdonald-sets-record-straight"> quite a lot after Geno Smith</a> suffered an injury.</p><p>Geno Smith had to rush out of Seahawks training camp 25 minutes into <a href="https://x.com/gbellseattle/status/1819107525452878366" rel="noopener">their light practice</a>, per Gregg Bell of the Tacoma News Tribune. The signal-caller was seen wearing a practice jersey over sweats as opposed to training gear. He was also not wearing a helmet which may indicate that Mike Macdonald’s quarterback might be suffering from an ailment that is preventing him from practicing.</p><p>Notably, Smith had already missed some <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-geno-smith-speechless-dk-metcalf-catch">parts of the Seahawks training camp.</a> He had to get his knee and hip worked on which resulted in the absence. There have been no official statements about the quarterback suffering. But, erring on the side of caution could be the move here because Macdonald does not want to face the same problem that Pete Carroll encountered in 2023. Smith had a groin injury and a tricep strain that kept preventing him from giving his best on the field.</p><p>The most that the Seahawks have disclosed about Smith’s injury was a fairly glib statement from Macdonald. Apparently, the quarterback is just working through a couple of things. However, the team has advised him to get imaging on the same day that he was spotted at Seahawks training camp.</p><h2><b>How has the Seahawks training camp been?</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/08/Seattle-Seahawks-quarterback-Geno-Smith-7-jogs.jpg"><figcaption>© Steven Bisig-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>Well, Macdonald has made the field a little bit more competitive and fun this offseason.

Pete Carroll is no longer head coach, and <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-seattle-hire-ravens-mike-macdonald-head-coach">Macdonald is now</a> at the helm. Thankfully for Macdonald, the Seahawks have continuity on their roster to ease the first-time head coach into the NFC West, one of the NFL’s toughest divisions.</p><p>Unfortunately, that continuity is also a double-edged sword for Seattle. Sure, the Seahawks were able to nab Byron Murphy and Christian Haynes <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/meet-seahawks-2024-nfl-draft-class-grades-all-8-picks">in the 2024 NFL Draft</a> to patch some of their issues. However, there are still flaws on this Seattle roster that could come back to bite them, especially if Smith remains a so-so signal caller.</p><p>It wasn’t all on Smith either, mind you. The Seahawks dropped 30 passes (ninth-most in the NFL) and gave up 229 pressures (sixth-most), while Smith still led the league in game-winning drives. While the highlight plays that Metcalf and Bobo are putting on in training camp are nice, the hope is they translate to the field this year. If they do, Seattle should have more than a fighting chance to make some noise in the division.</p><p>The question is how far that noise will take the Seahawks. They play in the same division as the San Francisco 49ers, an odds-on Super Bowl favorite, and the Los Angeles Rams, a veteran team that is a legitimate playoff threat. With the roster mostly the same as last year, will Seattle get similar results?

The 33-year old signal-caller would talk about the potential Metcalf can reach this upcoming season and what his role is in doing that.</p><p>Last season, Metcalf caught 66 passes for 1,114 yards to go along with eight touchdowns and even with those numbers, Smith believes that is the surface level of what the wide receiver can achieve. He would go as far as to say that he hopes to <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5661805/2024/07/27/seahawks-training-camp-red-zone-battles/" rel="noopener">“be the quarterback that he needs to unlock”</a> Metcalf’s fullest potential according to Michael-Shawn Dugar of The Athletic.</p><p>“That’s my job to keep pushing him and that’s his job to keep coming and bringing it every single day,” Smith said. “I’m just trying to push him and hopefully I can be the quarterback that he needs to unlock that.”</p><h2><b>Smith talks getting to build relationship with Metcalf on Seahawks</b></h2><figure><img src="https://wp.clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/07/Geno-Smith-throwing-a-pass-on-Jan.-7-2024.jpg"><figcaption>Matt Kartozian-USA TODAY Sports</figcaption></figure><p>As for Smith, he would find new life in his NFL career winning the <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-lawyer-claims-byron-murphy-ii-victim-extortion-blackmail-scheme">starting job with Seattle</a> and putting up solid numbers as last season, the West Virginia product threw for 3,624 yards, 20 touchdowns, and nine interceptions. He would say earllier in the month that he has been getting in some “one-on-one work” with Metcalf where they have really honed in on their craft and <a href="https://www.seahawks.com/news/geno-smith-still-getting-better-after-back-to-back-pro-bowl-seasons" rel="noopener">“work on our relationship”</a> according to the team’s website.</p><p>“For me, it’s to be able to get that one-on-one work with certain guys,” Smith said. “DK and I for the past three years have gotten really good work in at UCLA. It’s been a lot of one-on-one stuff, and we’ve been able to really work on our relationship on and off the field. A lot of guys live in Dallas, so making it convenient for them, and I like Dallas as well, so it’s good to be able to travel a little bit on the break.”</p><h2><b>Smith excited for upcoming season with Seattle</b></h2><p>The built up rapport and relationship should result in an exciting connection on the field between the two offensive weapons <a href="https://clutchpoints.com/seahawks-news-pro-bowler-julian-love-36-million-extension">with the Seahawks looking</a> to make some noise in the NFC West. However, it will be the start of a new era for the Seahawks as it’s the first season without head coach Pete Carroll, who had been in the position since 2010.</p><p>“I’m super excited for this team,” Smith said. “I’ve been working with guys throughout the break, and all the guys are looking really good, really sharp. We’ve been studying, getting together, going over the plays, just getting ready for training camp and for the season. I’m just so excited where we are right now, physically and mentally, I think we’re in a good place.”</p><p><a href="https://clutchpoints.com/1-surprising-player-who-could-make-break-seahawks-2024-nfl-season">Seattle is looking to improve</a> after a 9-8 season which put them third in the NFC West as they start the upcoming NFL year against the Denver Broncos on Sunday, Sept. 8.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>

That led to Seattle being able to scoop him up on a fairly team-friendly deal, as the veteran left guard can earn up to <a href="https://twitter.com/JFowlerESPN/status/1778941281324200025" rel="noopener">$4 million</a> over the course of this deal as he attempts to prove he still has some juice left in the tank.</p><p>Via Jeremy Fowler:</p><p>“Laken Tomlinson’s deal with the Seahawks is for one year and up to $4M, per source. Seattle gets a durable starter on the interior offensive line.”</p><p>Tomlinson has been one of the most consistent interior linemen in the game over the course of his career, and he earned Pro Bowl honors for his strong work in the 2021 campaign with the Niners. While he struggled at times with New York last year, Seattle managed to add a quality starter to fill in the position for them for at least one season, with there being a high likelihood that they use a middle-round pick to hopefully add their future starter at the spot in the upcoming 2024 NFL Draft.</p><p>This certainly isn’t the type of move that will elevate Seattle to Super Bowl contender status, but these are the sorts of under the radar moves that can make all of the difference in the NFL. Tomlinson will be hoping to put together a bounce back campaign with Seattle in 2024, and if he can do that, Smith should stand to benefit with more time under center, which will help the offense as a whole put up some big numbers moving forward.</p><figure class="op-tracker"></figure></article>    </body></html>
