The Seattle Seahawks have traded Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a third-round pick in the 2025 NFL Draft. Smith reunites with former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll in Las Vegas. Smith started 17 games for Seattle last season, passing for 4,320 yards, 21 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions, with a QBR of 53.8. The Seahawks finished 10-7 but missed the playoffs. Seattle coach Mike Macdonald previously stated that Smith was their quarterback of the future. With Smith’s departure, Seattle may seek a veteran free-agent quarterback like Sam Darnold or Kirk Cousins. The Raiders, who had three starting quarterbacks last season, are expected to release Gardner Minshew. Las Vegas had a 4-13 record last season, and Carroll took over as head coach after Antonio Pierce was fired. The Raiders have the No. 6 overall pick in the upcoming NFL Draft. Smith’s trade shifts the quarterback landscape for both teams and sets the stage for potential changes in the upcoming season.
