Geno Smith Traded to Raiders from Seahawks

Geno Smith has joined the Las Vegas Raiders after being traded from the Seattle Seahawks, due to a disconnect over contract respect and the team's youth movement under new head coach Mike Macdonald. Smith expressed that respect in contract negotiations is crucial, which he felt was lacking in Seattle. The trade reunites Smith with former Seahawks coach Pete Carroll, now the Raiders' head coach, and has the support of team part-owner Tom Brady, who played a significant role in bringing Smith to the Raiders. Smith is optimistic about his future with the Raiders, believing that reuniting with Carroll and working with Brady will lead to success. The Raiders hope Smith will improve their offense, which has struggled with consistency at quarterback since Derek Carr's departure.
