Thunderbolt. ESPN reports that the Seahawks have decided to send Geno Smith to the Raiders. In exchange, Las Vegas sends a 3rd round of Draft 2025. There was one year of contract to the player. According to Adam Schefter, the Nevada team has made the exchange without having a new contract with the player. Smith will find in Vegas, Pete Carrol, his former Head Coach in Seattle and freshly named at the head of the Raiders.
While Smith seemed to be well established in Seattle, the leaders decided to turn the page. Sam Howell is therefore now the holder quarterback. Unless the front office has an idea for the free agency that begins on Monday. For raiders, it is above all a question of putting the franchise on good rails. At 34, Geno Smith does not represent the long -term future of the franchise but will be able to help for a few seasons.
Propelled titular in 2022 after the departure of Russell Wilson, also exchanging at the time, Geno Smith had exceeded all expectations by proving to be a very non -level holder leading the team in playoffs during his first season at the head of the team. In 2024, Smith played the 17 regular season games, launched for 4320 yards, 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions.
