On March 8 and 9, 2024, the Seattle Seahawks' new head coach, Mike Macdonald, sparked discussions by not committing to Geno Smith as the team's starting quarterback. This development comes amidst the Seahawks' considerations in the free agency market, particularly the notion of having two players named Geno on their roster. The ambiguity surrounding Smith's role has led to varied interpretations of Macdonald's comments, with some viewing it as a typical approach to team decisions, while others perceive it as a clear sign of Smith's precarious position with the team.
