The Las Vegas Raiders are optimistic that by adding proven winners, they can finally cultivate a lasting and successful culture after enduring decades of struggle. To support this vision, the team has brought in legendary NFL figures Tom Brady and Pete Carroll, who have already begun working on a turnaround for Las Vegas. One of their key moves brought Carroll back together with Geno Smith, his former player with the Seattle Seahawks, indicating the organization’s confidence in Smith’s potential, especially evident through their financial commitment.
“Sources: The #Raiders and QB Geno Smith have agreed to terms on a new deal to better compensate him for his play after the blockbuster trade. Smith gets a 2-year extension in,” reported NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport.
Fans have shared their reactions on social media, with one stating, “Definitely not mad at a 2 year deal. Still gives us the ability to draft a QB without feeling like we need to commit to Geno as a long-term answer.” Another fan remarked, “I mean no disrespect to Geno Smith, who is playing the best ball of his career and deserves the money Vegas is paying him, but we have gotten way too loose with the term ‘blockbuster trade’ if we’re applying it to Geno Smith.” A third fan pondered, “Hmm maybe Shedeur is out of the cards for the Raiders now.”
It’ll be intriguing to see how the extension plays out.
