Geno Smith makes first comment since stunning trade to Raiders

Geno Smith is excited to be with the Raiders.

The multi-time Pro Bowl quarterback was dealt from the Seahawks to the Raiders.

The trade, finalized Friday, saw the Raiders send back a third-rounder for Smith, which will be pick No. 92 in the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft.

Smith expressed his enthusiasm on social media, stating, “God is the GREATEST!! Excited to get to work and WIN. The time is NOW.”

Geno Smith threw for 4,320 pᴀssing yards, 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions while completing 70.4 percent of his pᴀsses last season.

The soon-to-be 13-year NFL signal caller quoted tweeted a post from NFL reporter Jordan Schultz, who wrote that Smith and the Raiders have immediately begun work on a long-term extension following the deal.

Smith, who turns 35 years old in October, started for the Seahawks across each of the last three seasons, though his tenure with the team lasted six years — which included a lengthy stint as Russell Wilson’s backup before the latter was dealt to the Broncos.

Smith beat out Drew Lock — who arrived as part of the return for Wilson — for the Seahawks’ starting quarterback job ahead of the 2022 season.

That year, he broke out for 30 pᴀssing touchdowns to 11 interceptions, along with 4,282 pᴀssing yards and a league-best 69.8 completion percentage.

The Raiders’ decision to acquire Smith addressed their pressing need for a seasoned quarterback given the hire of Pete Carroll, who coached Smith for five of his six seasons in Seattle.

The Raiders finished last season with a 4-13 record, prompting significant organizational changes.

The organization only has two seasons with a winning record since reaching the Super Bowl in 2002, and the Raiders have only been to the playoffs twice since then.
