The Las Vegas Raiders made the bold choice to send a third-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks this offseason for nearly 35-year-old quarterback Geno Smith. On top of that, the team gave him a two-year extension worth up to $75 million, tying him to Las Vegas for the next three years.
After Week 1's elite showing against the New England Patriots on the road in tough conditions, it looked like the Raiders may have gotten a steal this offseason. The next three weeks, however, have been completely disastrous.
Smith went from looking like a quarterback who could take this Las Vegas team to new heights to being the one who is dragging them down and holding them back.
