All things considered, this prediction for Geno Smith is in play and would mean good things for the Raiders in 2025.
Even though a segment of Las Vegas Raiders fans didn't think much of Derek Carr, they would have loved to have him under center the last two seasons. A quarterback upgrade was in store this offseason, and ties to head coach Pete Carroll fueled a trade for Geno Smith from the Seattle Seahawks.
The Raiders have a challenge ahead to climb the standings in a tough AFC West this year, but an air of on-field credibility automatically comes from having a capable quarterback.
