In a move signaling a transformative shift for the Las Vegas Raiders, head coach Pete Carroll has announced the acquisition of veteran quarterback Geno Smith, reuniting the duo after their successful tenure in Seattle. This strategic move, backed by general manager John Spytek and minority owner Tom Brady, underscores the organization’s commitment to reshaping its identity and competitiveness in the NFL.
The Raiders secured Smith from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a 2025 third-round draft pick. This transaction reunites Smith with Carroll, under whose guidance he earned two Pro Bowl selections and the 2022 Comeback Player of the Year award.

“Getting Geno was a really important part of this puzzle we’re putting together,” Carroll stated, emphasizing Smith’s work ethic and leadership qualities.

This acquisition is part of a broader strategy by the Raiders’ leadership to instill a culture of excellence and resilience. With Carroll’s coaching acumen, Spytek’s strategic oversight, and Brady’s championship pedigree, the organization is poised to embark on a new chapter aimed at restoring its storied legacy.
As the Raiders prepare for the upcoming season, the integration of Smith into their offensive scheme will be closely watched, with expectations high for a resurgence in performance and competitiveness.
