Geno Smith career earnings: How much has the Seattle Seahawks QB earned from his NFL career
Geno Smith had himself a career resurrection with the Seattle Seahawks last season. The quarterback signed with the team in 2019 and was given a one-year, $7 million extension last April. Smith became the Seahawks' starting quarterback after the departure of longtime starter Russell Wilson in a trade to the Denver Broncos last offseason.
His 2022 season showed Seattle that Smith is their franchise quarterback, rewarding him with a three-year, $105 million contract extension. What's more, he was named the AP Comeback Player of the Year thanks to his performance last season.

The former West Virginia star started all 17 regular-season games in the 2022 season, throwing for 4,282 yards, 30 touchdowns, and 11 interceptions. Smith broke the Seahawks' single-season record for yards thrown in a season, surpassing Wilson's 4,219 yards in the 2016 season.
Geno Smith's NFL journey started when the New York Jets selected him in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. He started 30 games for the Jets over the course of four seasons, throwing for 5,962 yards, 28 touchdowns, and 36 interceptions.
Next, he spent the 2017 season in the same city, playing for the New York Giants. Smith ended Eli Manning's streak of 210 consecutive starts that season. The signal-caller took his talents to the West Coast for the Los Angeles Chargers for the 2018 season.
Like his time with the Giants, Smith started one game and played one season with the Chargers. As mentioned earlier, the former second-round pick joined the Seahawks ahead of the 2019 season. Smith backed up Wilson, starting three games in the 2021 season when Wilson was injured.
With his new deal, Smith's career earnings will see a massive jump over the next three years.
