Hammer trade in the NFL! Quarterback Geno Smith leaves the Seattle Seahawks after six years. In the future, the 34-year-old will control the fortunes at the Las Vegas Raiders. In return, a third -round pick for the Draft 2025 to Seattle moves from the gaming metropolis. The deal, which is unanimously reported by reference on the league, is officially announced on Wednesday at the start of the league year at 9 p.m.
Geno Smith leaves the Seattle Seahawks and joins the Las Vegas Raiders. The sparrows whistle loudly from the roofs. For the experienced quarterback, the change according to “Sin City” is also a return to work with coach Pete Carroll. Carroll trained the Seahawks from 2010 to 2023 and also had Smith under his wing.
During this time, the two -time Pro Bowler 2022 became a starter and rewarded this decision with strong performance. Smith was also one of the stronger ball distributors in the past NFL season. He brought 70.4 percent of his passports to the man and thus ensured 4320 YARDS space gain. Smith took twelve in the prestigious quarterback ranking of the NFL.
However, the truth also includes that the Seahawks missed the playoffs as eighth of the NFC.
NFL: Seattle Seahawks save a lot
In Seattle you should save around $ 31 million in salary and cap space through the trade, but you also have to cope with around $ 13.5 million to “Dead Money”.
A contribution by Smith on short message service X should presumably confirm the reports. On Saturday morning (CET) the veteran wrote: “God is the greatest. I am excited to get started and win. The time is now.”
Officially, Smith will only open in Las Vegas on Wednesday (March 12, 10 p.m.). Then the new financial year of the NFL begins.
