A wild trade proposal sends Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith to the New York Giants in exchange for a player and picks.

Smith's current contract — which expires after the 2025 season — has an average per-year value of $25 million, which ranks 19th in the NFL. His cap hit is $44.5 million next season, the largest of his three-year deal, which accounts for 15.8 percent of the Seahawks' total cap.
