Geno Smith will be a member of the Las Vegas Raiders in the predictable future. The veteran Field Marshal, who was recently marketed from the Seattle Seahawks to Las Vegas, agreed an extension of two years and $ 75 million that is worth up to $ 85.5 million and includes $ 66.5 million guaranteed, according to ESPN. The agreement will be extended during the 2027 season.
Smith, 34, was entering the last year of his three -year agreement and $ 75 million that he had previously signed as a member of the Seahawks. This was expected, as the Raiders chief coach Pete Carroll, said recently The team was working towards an extension for Smithwho played under Carroll during his finals four seasons in Seattle. Smith’s two Pro Bowl teams arrived with Carroll serving as a chief coach.
According to reports, money was one of the main reasons why Seahawks treated Smith just before the start of free agency. The two parties were approximately $ 10 million in negotiations, according to Sports Illustrated. Seattle hoped to sign Smith with an extension that would pay him around $ 35 million annually, but Smith’s camp expected an agreement that would pay him $ 45 million per season. Seattle finally decided to exchange Smith and since then he has replaced him with former Vikings Campo Marshal, Sam Darnold, who signed a three -year agreement that is worth up to $ 100.5 million.
A second round of 2013 that began his career with the New York Jets, Smith spent the last three seasons as the seafarence of the Seahawks Field. It was 28-24, including helping to lead the franchise to a position in the playoffs in 2022. Smith, who obtained Pro Bowl’s nods in 2022 and 2023, completed 70.4% of his passes last season.
Smith will now try to help Raiders return to respectability. The Raiders, a proud franchise that once won three Super Bowls for a period of eight years, have not won the great game since January 1984, have played in just a Super Bowl since then (in January 2003) and have only made two appearances in the playoffs since their last trip to the Super Bowl.
Raiders are expected to provide Smith offensive aid with General Selection No. 6 in the NFL 2025 Draft. Many expect them to use the selection to select the Boise State State Jeantty corridor or the Travis Hunter receiver/corner.
