Pete Carroll wants Seahawks to re-sign Geno Smith?

That, of course, was before the blockbuster trade that involved the Seahawks sending Wilson to the Denver Broncos became official last Wednesday. 

Carroll and company now have 2019 second-round draft pick Drew Lock and 2020 fourth-round selection Jacob Eason in their quarterback room, and the coach repeated during a Tuesday appearance on local radio station Seattle Sports 710 he'd like to re-add Smith to the roster. 

"I’d like to get Geno hooked up and get him back in. He showed us a good deal of command of our offense when he played last year and he has a terrific understanding of it so he’s out in front of the other guys that are involved in the competition in that regard," Carroll explained, according to Josh Alper of Pro Football Talk. "By the time he got a couple games under his belt after sitting for three or four years, he functioned in the Jacksonville game as well as you can function and he had a beautiful game there. And that looked like the culmination of his return, kind of. And unfortunately we didn’t get to capitalize to see what the next step would be because Russ came back and played. But he popped the ball around, he was fast with the football and got it out and did some really cool things." 

Smith, 31, completed 65-of-95 total passes (68.4%) for 702 yards with five touchdowns, one interception, and a record of 1-2 as QB1 last season. 

Alper notes that Carroll admitted the Seahawks are also looking at "other options." It's unclear if former Cleveland Browns starter Baker Mayfield is one of those options as previously believed.
