The Seattle Seahawks and Las Vegas Raiders agreed to a deal on Friday evening that sends quarterback Geno Smith to the AFC West and could end up sending quarterback Sam Darnold to the Pacific Northwest. In exchange, the Seahawks parted with a third-round pick. Smith has been a reliable option as a starter for multiple years and the Raiders are seeking an upgrade at the position in Pete Carroll's first season.
Before the two franchises agreed on the swap, Seattle came to the table with quite a proposal. Sports Illustrated's Albert Breer reports that the Seahawks opened trade discussions by broaching the subject of Smith and wide receiver DK Metcalf for defensive end Maxx Crosby, which was quickly shut down.
