Smith has served as the No. 2 quarterback for Seattle behind starter Russell Wilson for each of the last three seasons. After Wilson injured his hand in Week 5 against the Rams, Smith got to start three games for the Seahawks this year. He posted a 1-2 record as a starter, totaling 702 passing yards, five touchdowns, one interception and a 45.5 QBR.

Smith spent the first few years of his career in the NFL as the No. 1 QB for the Jets, going 12-18 in those games. Since then he’s also been a backup for the Jets, Giants and the Chargers.

Smith is set to become a free agent in March.
