Geno Smith: Trade| Contract| Stats
Eugene Cyril Smith III (born October 10, 1990) is an American professional quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks in the NFL. A standout at West Virginia, he set multiple passing records, led the Mountaineers to several bowl appearances, and earned numerous accolades before being drafted by the New York Jets in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
Trade
Pete Carroll isn’t looking to spend his first year as head coach of the Las Vegas Raiders in a rebuilding phase—he wants to compete immediately. That intent became clear on Friday when the Raiders traded a 2025 third-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks for quarterback Geno Smith, reuniting him with his former coach.
During his time under Carroll in Seattle, Smith earned two Pro Bowl selections and posted 8,641 passing yards, 55 touchdowns, and 21 interceptions across 37 games.
The Raiders explored multiple options at quarterback, prioritizing a player who could keep them competitive in 2025. Their initial attempt to acquire Matthew Stafford from the Los Angeles Rams fell through, leading them to pivot to Smith as their solution.
Contract
Geno Smith inked a three-year, $75 million contract with the Seattle Seahawks, which includes $40 million in guaranteed money and an average annual salary of $25 million. In 2025, he is set to earn a base salary of $14.8 million, along with a $16 million roster bonus and a $200,000 workout bonus, bringing his total cap hit to $31 million for the season.
