Las Vegas Raiders exchanged a third round choice for the quarter-Arrière Geno Smith in the Seattle Seahawks, bringing him together with head coach Pete Carroll.
The 34 -year -old man ends a six -season stay in Seattle with the Raiders who should face the $ 31 million he left on his contract.
Smith had a hard time having an impact at the start of his career after being a second round choice by the New York Jets in 2013.
After the time with the Giants and the Chargers, he signed with Seattle in 2019 and rekindled his career, winning the player of the year of the NFL in 2022.
In 2024, Smith launched 4,320 yards and recorded 21 affected and 15 interceptions after starting the 17 games.
He broke the franchise record for the yards and the completion rate of the pass and also led four winning discs, giving him nine in the last two seasons to equalize Patrick Mahomes of the Chiefs of Kansas City during this period.
Despite his efforts, the Seahawks failed to make the playoffs in 2024 during their first season under coach Mike Macdonald, ending with a 10-7 file.
The former boss of the Seahawks Carroll – which led Smith for four seasons in Seattle – was appointed to replace the licensee Antonio Pierce to the Raiders.
