After spending six seasons with the Seahawks and reviving his career as a starter over the last three, Geno Smith was traded to the Raiders this past offseason for a third-round pick. Smith went 27–22 as a full-time starter for Seattle, made two Pro Bowls, won Comeback Player of the Year and helped the Seahawks reach the postseason in 2022, but was unable to negotiate a new deal with the Seahawks before he got traded.
Turns out, it might have been for the best.
