In the final analysis, the contract quarterback Geno Smith signed with the Raiders isn't much better than the contract his replacement in Seattle, quarterback Sam Darnold, signed with the Seahawks.

In 2027, Smith is due to make a non-guaranteed salary of $39.5 million. The deal includes $3.5 million each year in incentives, for a maximum payout of $116.5 million.

The Las Vegas Raiders locked quarterback Geno Smith down with a big two-year contract extension on Thursday just weeks after landing him in a trade with the Seattle Seahawks. In doing so, Las Vegas telegraphed one part of its draft plans.

The Raiders traded for Geno Smith during the 2025 NFL offseason. They extended him to ensure he would be in Las Vegas for multiple seasons.

Three weeks after being traded, the Las Vegas Raiders locked down former Seattle Seahawks quarterback Geno Smith through 2027.

The Las Vegas Raiders have reportedly locked in Geno Smith past the 2025 campaign, inking an extension worth $75 million that keeps him through the 2027 season.

There was a time in Smith's career when he was best known as someone who didn't live up to expectations as a 2013 second-round draft pick for the New York Jets. He then bounced around to the New York Giants and Los Angeles Chargers before joining the Seahawks as a backup.
