Smith was in attendance for Monday's team meeting, Pete Carroll told Bell. Smith is going to be a free agent.

Smith was released from the King County jail at 9:27 a.m. after being pulled over. Hours before his arrest, the Seahawks had defeated the Arizona Cardinals 38-30 in their season finale to end the year with a record of 7-10.

Geno is cooperating with the investigation. Jon Fox, Smith's attorney, said in a statement to the Associated Press that he hopes that an open mind can be kept.

Smith has been the backup to Russell Wilson for three seasons. He was thrust into action this year when Wilson broke his middle finger and needed surgery. He entered the second half of the Week 5 game against the Los Angeles Rams and threw an interception that ended the team's comeback attempt.

Smith completed 65-of-95 passes for 701 yards, five touchdown and an error this year. He started for the Seahawks and they went 1-2.

He has been a starter for nine years and has a 13-21 record. He's played for the New York Jets, New York Giants, and Los Angeles Clippers.
