Geno Smith may have a big raise coming his way.
The eight-year veteran quarterback has been filling in for Russell Wilson since the star signal-caller suffered a finger injury in the Seattle Seahawks’ Week 5 loss to the Los Angeles Rams, and Smith has been impressive.
Smith has thrown for 702 yards and five touchdowns with just one interception across three-plus games and actually has been among the league’s best in passer rating, according to NFL on CBS on Twitter.
Smith’s 103.0 passer rating ranks him eighth in the league among qualifying starting quarterbacks. It is higher than Justin Herbert, Patrick Mahomes, Derek Carr, Lamar Jackson, Matt Ryan and Ryan Tannehill, just to name a few.
The 31-year-old has never reached this mark throughout his career and could be a sign of big money when he enters unrestricted free agency after the season.
