Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith showed support for Russell Wilson after the Denver Broncos decided to bench the quarterback for the final two weeks of the 2023 season.

Smith backed up Wilson before the Broncos acquired Wilson in a trade with Seattle prior to the start of the 2022 season. He then won the job in a competition with Drew Lock, who was among the players sent to the Seahawks in return for Wilson.

But after Wilson’s benching was revealed, Smith sent out a post on X.

"FREE 3."

Smith joined the Seahawks following stints with the New York Giants and the Los Angeles Chargers. He joined the team in 2019 and only appeared in five games before Wilson was traded.

But the veteran quarterback learned everything he could from Wilson and head coach Pete Carroll and won the Comeback Player of the Year last season and was nominated to his first Pro Bowl.

As for Wilson, his time with the Broncos appears to be coming to an end. NFL Network reported that one of the reasons why Denver benched Wilson was because of the possibility of injury. Wilson reportedly has a $37 million injury guarantee for 2025 that becomes fully guaranteed this coming March.

Wilson is due $39 million in 2024.

Jarrett Stidham will start for Wilson in the final two games.

"I can tell you [that] we’re desperately trying to win," Broncos head coach Sean Payton said. "Sure, in our game today there are economics and all those other things, but the No. 1 push behind this – and it’s a decision I’m making – is to get a spark offensively."

Taylor Swift mania has taken over Arrowhead Stadium during the 2023 season since the pop star has cozied up to Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce, and everyone has taken notice.

Fans have poured into the stadium not only to see Kelce but to get a glimpse of the "Cruel Summer" singer in the suite cheering for the boys in red and white.

Gracie Hunt, the daughter of Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, appeared on "OutKick the Morning" and told Charly Arnolt it was exciting to see Kelce and Swift happy.

"I think we’re all so excited to see two such phenomenal people happy," Hunt said. "I mean, it’s so easy for us to cheer for and for the entire world to cheer for because they’re wonderful for each other, and it’s just been so fun to watch this love story unfold. That’s been so special to see how happy they are.

"And also, (we) have so many young — especially female — fans watching football, interested in football and maybe even considering playing flag football and also cheering for the Chiefs."

The Chiefs heiress said she’s seen more women in the stands.

"Oh, for sure. I’m sure you’ve seen as well. They’re holding the signs. They’re saying, ‘I’m here for Taylor’ or ‘I’m here for Taylor’s boyfriend,’" Hunt said. 

"Whatever reason you’re there for, I’m glad you’re there, and I’m glad you’re getting to experience the game that I fell in love with when I was little. Because even — not as someone who’s played football but someone who’s watched it — there’s so many values from football that transfer into life and can have really great takeaways."
