Raiders Extend Geno Smith Through 2027 with $85.5M Deal

The Las Vegas Raiders solidify their quarterback plans by signing Geno Smith to a two-year extension, reuniting him with head coach Pete Carroll to lead a rebuild after a challenging 2024 season.

Geno Smith's two-year extension with the Raiders is worth up to $85.5 million, including $66.5 million guaranteed, ensuring his role as the team's quarterback through 2027.
The extension follows the Raiders' March trade with the Seahawks, in which they acquired Smith in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick.
Smith's career resurgence began in 2022 with the Seahawks, where he earned NFL Comeback Player of the Year and led the league in completion percentage.
The Raiders struggled in 2024 with a 4-13 record, prompting them to hire Pete Carroll as head coach and pursue Smith to stabilize the quarterback position.
Defensive star Maxx Crosby expressed optimism about the move, emphasizing Smith's potential to help the team compete in the highly competitive AFC West.
