Seahawks Mike Macdonald gave QB Geno Smith another strong endorsement, saying that the team loves him and can't wait to "go to work with him."

Kubiak also spoke about quarterback Geno Smith, who is once again the No. 1 subject of discussion this offseason. Seattle has to figure out what they want to do with Smith when it comes to his contract, but the goal seems to be focused on keeping him in the Emerald City for next year.

That’s all great. But if Kubiak, new line coach John Benton from Saints don’t fix the offensive line Seattle won’t go anywhere.

New OC Klint Kubiak said Seattle's offensive identity will be running the ball -- something the fired Ryan Grubb didn't do as often or as well as coach Mike Macdonald wanted -- but that they have to be able to win in more than one way.

The Seahawks have said nothing to dissuade the impression they’re all-in on Geno Smith, who is entering a contract year at age 34 and is set to have his third offensive coordinator in three seasons. Seattle likely will address his deal, which is set to pay him $25 million in 2025, putting him at the lower end of the veteran starter pay scale.
