Las Vegas Raiders not only commit to Geno Smith for the 2025 season, but they go beyond, since they agreed an extension of two years and $ 75 million, according to multiple reports.
The Raiders exchanged for Smith at the beginning of this low season, gathering the veteran gunman with his former chief coach of the Seattle Seahawks, Pete Carroll, who took care of the work in Sin City.
The 34 -year -old man had a year in his Seahawks contract, leaving many who believes that Smith could be a stop option before a younger player of the franchise joined the room of the Quarterbacks.

However, Raiders are giving Smith $ 66.5 million in guaranteed money, according to ESPN, and the total agreement could lead to $ 85.5 million with incentives. All this means that Smith is locked during the next seasons, since the Raiders aim to return to the playoffs.
Smith is now contractually attached to the Raiders through the 2027 campaign.

He will play in the $ 31 million agreement that was left in the Seattle contract with him in 2025, and the Raiders sent a third round selection to acquire it before free agency began. Since then, Sam Darnold has filled Smith’s vacuum in Seattle, since he is now ready to be his field marshal of the franchise.
The Raiders were always on the market for a field marshal after Gardner Minshew and Aidan O’Connell did not work in tasks divided in 2024. Minshew also continued, signing with the heads of Kansas City to be the back of Patrick Mahomes next season.
Minshew’s pending agency raided the way to may give O’Connell a clear photo in the initial role, but has not proven to be ready for that after a roller coaster first two seasons in the NFL.

With Smith on board, Carroll Raiders can immediately compete in a hard division of the West. And not only its best season comes, but a record for Seahawks.
Smith established a new team of team yards for a single season with 4,320, and its 70.4% completion rate for the year was also a record. He launched for 21 touchdowns, although he will want to reduce those 15 interceptions in 2025.
Seattle ended up going 10-7, and that would have been a year of playoffs in past seasons, but the Seahawks lost the postseason.
But Carroll knows just what Smith can bring to an offensive after Smith was a field marshal twice from the Pro Bowl with Seahawks while training. Smith was an officer who faced previous organizations, including New York Jets, which recruited him.

However, Smith has proven to do the job when they are given the right tools to execute an offensive, and that is what Carroll expects that it can happen in year 1 in Las Vegas. However, it is not just a year, since Smith is locked up for seasons after 2025.
