The 2025 NFL offseason has started with a bang, with the latest move seeing the Seattle Seahawks dealing Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for a third-round pick. The move was a surprise, but it makes sense as Smith played for new Raiders head coach Pete Carroll in Seattle. The Raiders needed a quarterback too. Smith has one more year on his current deal, so he could be a bridge to a young quarterback like Colorado's Shedeur Sanders.
The move won’t move the needle much in fantasy football, because Smith will remain a No. 2 quarterback regardless. The Raiders have a ton of cap space and plenty of money under the salary cap, so Smith’s arsenal of offensive weapons should improve via free agency and the draft. Heck, Smith could also be reunited with DK Metcalf via trade or Tyler Lockett as a free agent.
