RENTON, Wash. (AP) — The Seattle Seahawks are bringing back quarterback Geno Smith to serve as the backup to Russell Wilson. Smith signed a one-year deal with Seattle to stay in the role he has held for the past two seasons with the Seahawks. 

Smith has appeared in just one game for Seattle. He completed four of five passes for 33 yards in last year’s blowout win over the Jets. 

Smith was a second-round pick by the New York Jets in 2013 and started 29 of 30 games during his first two seasons in the league.
