Raiders expect new deal for QB Geno Smith 'fairly soon'
- Geno Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders earlier this month, reuniting him with former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, though no contract extension is currently in place beyond the upcoming season.
- Las Vegas, with a 4-13 record last season, acquired Smith after he was unable to agree to an extension with the Seattle Seahawks, who received a 2025 third-round pick in the trade.
- Smith, who signed a three-year, $75 million deal in March 2023 and is owed $31 million for the upcoming year, was Carroll's starting quarterback for the past two seasons in Seattle, leading them to matching 9-8 records and earning two Pro Bowl nods.
- General Manager John Spytek, speaking from the NFL's annual spring meeting in West Palm Beach, Florida, expressed confidence that a deal to keep the 34-year-old Smith with the Raiders for years to come will be reached 'fairly soon'.
- Despite the acquisition of Smith, the Raiders, who had multiple quarterbacks starting games last season, are still considering drafting a quarterback with one of their nine picks in the upcoming NFL draft, though Spytek indicated the urgency to draft a quarterback is lessened by Smith's presence and Carroll considers Smith an 'immediate fix'.
