In a significant development for the NFL quarterback landscape, veteran signal-caller Geno Smith may have gained more clarity on his future after recent moves by the Tennessee Titans and the Seattle Seahawks.
Following the official announcement of Pete Carroll’s departure as head coach of the Seattle Seahawks, speculation surrounding the team’s direction — including its plans at quarterback — has intensified. Carroll, who coached Smith during the quarterback’s resurgence in Seattle, had consistently supported Smith as the team’s starter, even amid public and media scrutiny. His exit now opens the door to potential changes under new leadership.
Meanwhile, the Tennessee Titans, a team in search of consistency under center, have reportedly expressed interest in solidifying their quarterback situation. With second-year quarterback Will Levis still developing, Titans insiders suggest that the team has been exploring veteran options to mentor or even compete with Levis — and Geno Smith’s name has surfaced among the possible targets.
Sources close to the Titans organization indicate that Smith is viewed as a possible fit for the team’s evolving offensive scheme. His experience, leadership, and recent success in Seattle — including a Pro Bowl selection and a Comeback Player of the Year award — make him an attractive option for a team that values stability at the quarterback position.
Geno Smith, 33, is still under contract with Seattle, but with a manageable cap number and the Seahawks now undergoing a coaching transition, a trade or release is not out of the question. If the Seahawks’ new head coach decides to rebuild with a younger quarterback, Smith could be on the move — and Tennessee is one of the most logical destinations.
As of now, no official trade talks have been confirmed, but the NFL offseason is only beginning. Smith’s future, once tightly linked to Pete Carroll’s system, may now depend on how the Seahawks and Titans proceed in the coming weeks.
