Geno Smith Earns $6M Bonus as Seahawks Secure 10th Win in Season Finale

The veteran quarterback set franchise records in passing yards and completion percentage, but Seattle misses playoffs for the second straight year.

Overview

  • Geno Smith hit three $2 million performance escalators in the Seahawks' 30-25 win over the Rams, bringing his total 2025 earnings to $16 million if he remains on the roster in March.
  • Smith set franchise records for passing yards (4,320) and completion percentage (70.4%) while throwing a career-high four touchdown passes in the game.
  • The Seahawks finished 10-7 but were eliminated from playoff contention before the game, raising questions about Smith's future with the team despite his strong performance.
  • Wide receiver Jaxon Smith-Njigba tied the franchise single-season receptions record with 100 catches, matching Tyler Lockett's mark.
  • Seattle's defense struggled at times against a Rams team resting many starters, but a late goal-line stand preserved the win and capped Mike Macdonald's first season as head coach.
