A $10 million roster bonus due to the 34-year-old quarterback on the 5th day of the new league year means a choice is near.

While Geno Smith said he cared most about the win in Sunday's finale, he also hit three contract escalators in the game worth $6 million.

Geno Smith had those money moves in him on Sunday. The Seahawks quarterback cashed in on the $6 million incentives in his contract during his team’s 30-25 win over the Rams in the final week of the regular season.

While Geno Smith might not reside in the elite tier of quarterbacks in the NFL, it doesn't mean that the Seahawks wouldn't be well served to bring him back.

Shawn Dugar, Jourdan Rodrigue and Lauren Smith The Seattle Seahawks closed out their schedule with a 30-25 win over the Los Angeles Rams on the road Sunday, collecting their 10th win, but will miss the playoffs for a second consecutive season.

Geno Smith has had quite the year for the Seattle Seahawks. He’s third in the league in passing yards per game, trailing only Joe Burrow and Jared Goff, and is one of just four starters in the NFL completing more than 70% of their passes, all while leading the Seahawks to a 5-1 record against NFC West competition to keep them in playoff contention.

For one thing, there's a lot of money on the line in potential bonuses for head coach Mike Macdonald and his players. Macdonald told reporters earlier this week he'll be playing his starters in an effort to get that 10th win of the season.
