Geno Smith wasn't happy with what the Seattle Seahawks were going to pay him in the future, and the team and the player decided that maybe parting ways was the best thing moving forward. At least, some of that is true based on who you believe.
Smith wanted to be traded, or he didn't. No matter, he was. The Seahawks dealt him to the Las Vegas Raiders, where Smith was reunited with former Seattle head coach Pete Carroll. Also, Jamal Adams ended up being there, too. It's a weird year.
In Week 1, Las Vegas won, but barely, and Smith did Geno Smith things.
