Geno Smith knows what is at stake entering the Seahawks' season finale, but he isn't going to chase incentives at the expense of his team winning.

Which, yes, means that in the shadows of Hollywood, Smith on Sunday could be referred to as having a chance to play the role of the $6 million man. The incentives are part of a three-year contract he signed in March 2023. That deal initially was reported to be worth up to $105 million over three years.

The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.

Despite the playoffs being out of reach, Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith has plenty to play for in the season finale.

Additionally, quarterback Geno Smith is playing to earn himself some serious bonus money. Smith’s season has been a roller coaster. He has helped guide the Seahawks to a third-consecutive winning season, but untimely turnovers (both his fault and not) contributed to Seattle’s inconsistent offense this year.

Beyond 2025, the Seahawks should be on the lookout for a future signal caller, but the franchise has bigger fish to fry after missing the playoffs.

Brock Huard and Mike Salk try to make sense of yet another roller-coaster performance by Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith.

Geno Smith has had quite the year for the Seattle Seahawks. He’s third in the league in passing yards per game, trailing only Joe Burrow and Jared Goff, and is one of just four starters in the NFL completing more than 70% of their passes, all while leading the Seahawks to a 5-1 record against NFC West competition to keep them in playoff contention.

For one thing, there's a lot of money on the line in potential bonuses for head coach Mike Macdonald and his players. Macdonald told reporters earlier this week he'll be playing his starters in an effort to get that 10th win of the season.
