Raiders Acquire Geno Smith Amid Roster Reshuffle

The Las Vegas Raiders have traded for quarterback Geno Smith as part of their strategy to strengthen the team and aim for a playoff spot in a competitive AFC West division. However, Smith, who is turning 35, is seen as a temporary solution, prompting the Raiders to consider future quarterback options like Shedeur Sanders or Riley Leonard in the draft. The Raiders are also exploring options to enhance their offensive lineup, potentially by acquiring wide receiver George Pickens from the Steelers or pursuing free agent guard Will Hernandez to support Smith. Meanwhile, the Raiders' management, including minority owner Tom Brady, is actively involved in reshaping the team's roster for immediate competitiveness. As the Raiders focus on immediate success, the team is also keeping an eye on long-term solutions to ensure sustained performance beyond the upcoming season.
