Raiders Secure QB Geno Smith with Two-Year, $75 Million Extension

After acquiring Geno Smith via trade from the Seattle Seahawks, the Las Vegas Raiders quickly moved to secure him long-term. Smith had one year remaining on the $75 million deal he signed with Seattle in 2023. The new two-year extension, worth a base of $75 million and including $66.5 million guaranteed, ensures he remains in Las Vegas through the 2027 season.

Raiders general manager John Spytek confirmed the team's intentions prior to the deal, stating, 'We look forward to having him not just this year, but for years to come.' This extension backs up that statement, positioning the 11-year veteran not as a temporary fix, but as a core piece of their strategy.

Smith experienced a career resurgence in Seattle, culminating in a Pro Bowl selection for the 2022 season and strong statistical output last year (4,320 yards, 21 TDs, 15 INTs). The Raiders are banking on Smith maintaining this level of play as they aim to return to playoff contention in a competitive AFC West. His experience and recent performance provide a solid foundation for the Raiders' offense.
