Geno Smith Signs Two-Year Extension with Raiders
Big news coming out of Las Vegas—quarterback Geno Smith has officially agreed to a two-year contract extension with the Raiders. This deal comes just a month after the team acquired him from the Seattle Seahawks, and it signals a commitment from both Smith and the Raiders to a longer-term partnership.
Head coach Pete Carroll hinted earlier this week that an extension was in the works, and now it's a done deal. According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, Smith and the Raiders were already close to finalizing the agreement, and now they've reached the finish line. While the financial details of the new contract haven’t been disclosed yet, what we do know is that Smith was set to earn $31 million in salary and bonuses this year. His cap hit was also sitting at $31 million. Now, with this new deal, the Raiders are locking him in for at least two more seasons, solidifying their quarterback situation for the foreseeable future.

This extension marks an important moment for both Smith and the Raiders. Smith, who played under Pete Carroll in Seattle, now gets the chance to lead a franchise eager to make a serious playoff push in the AFC. For the Raiders, keeping Smith on board provides stability at quarterback, something the team has been searching for in recent years.
Ever since taking over as Seattle’s starter in 2022, Smith has proven he can lead an offense. His efficiency, leadership, and ability to make plays under pressure have turned him into one of the more reliable quarterbacks in the league. And now, in Las Vegas, he gets the opportunity to build on that success in a new environment.
For Raiders fans, this is exciting news. With Smith locked in, the team can focus on building around him and improving their roster. The AFC is highly competitive, but the Raiders clearly believe Smith is the right guy to lead them back to postseason contention.
So, what’s next? With Smith’s contract situation settled, the focus now shifts to how the Raiders will continue to bolster their squad. Will they make moves in free agency? Will they target key players in the draft? One thing’s for sure—Las Vegas is all in on Geno Smith, and the next two years will be crucial for both him and the franchise.
