The Las Vegas Raiders will have Geno Smith under contract for the next three seasons after the quarterback agreed a new two-year extension on Thursday.

Smith will sign an agreement worth $85.5m with $66.5m guaranteed, making him a Raider until 2027. 

Tom Brady’s Raiders traded for the quarterback from Seattle in March in a move that sees Smith reunite with former head coach Pete Carroll.

The 34-year-old arrived in Vegas with one year to go on a three-month contract with was worth $31m.

NFL Insider Ian Rapoport was first to report Smith’s two-year extension. 

Smith’s arrival is the standout move in an offseason of upheaval in Vegas that seven-time Super Bowl winner Brady has spearheaded.

As well as recruiting both Smith and Carroll, Brady also handed a new three-year, $106.5m deal to star defensive end Maxx Crosby.

The rebuild will continue at the NFL Draft in Green Bay later this month, where the Raiders hold the No. 6 pick and are widely expected to go for running back Ashton Jeanty. 

The Raiders endured a miserable 2024 campaign, missing out on the playoffs with an awful 4-13 record in the packed AFC West.

Antonio Piece was fired as head coach and general manager Tom Telesco promptly followed him out of the exit door as Brady pulled rank.
