Raiders Extend Geno Smith with Two-Year, $85.5 Million Deal

The contract secures Smith as Las Vegas' starting quarterback through 2027, reinforcing the team's rebuilding strategy under Pete Carroll.

Geno Smith and the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a two-year extension worth up to $85.5 million, with $66.5 million guaranteed.
The extension keeps Smith under contract through the 2027 season, solidifying his role as the team's starting quarterback.
Smith's reunion with head coach Pete Carroll, who coached him in Seattle, is central to the Raiders' efforts to rebuild after a 4-13 season in 2024.
The move reduces the Raiders' urgency to draft a quarterback in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft, allowing them to focus on other roster needs.
Smith's career revival includes two Pro Bowl selections and the 2022 NFL Comeback Player of the Year award, showcasing his value as a starter.
