"Don't know what Vegas is doing"- Jon Gruden's brother calls out Raiders on blockbuster Geno Smith trade

The Seattle Seahawks traded quarterback Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders for a 2025 third-round pick. Jay Gruden, who coached the Washington Commanders from 2014-19, said he does not understand why the Las Vegas Raiders made the move.

"Geno Smith to the Las Vegas Raiders," Jon Gruden's brother said. "Who got the better deal? Seattle getting a third round pick for Geno Smith and losing all that money on their cap, or the Raiders getting Geno Smith and paying them that kind of money and having him be the face of the franchise. I tend to think it's going to be Seattle.

"Maybe they get a younger Sam Darnold. Maybe they trade up in the draft to get a quarterback. I don't know what Vegas is doing quite frankly. I'm not a big fan of this deal for Vegas."

Geno had a good season with the Seattle Seahawks as he completed 407-of-578 (70.4%) passes for 4,320 yards with 21 touchdowns to 15 interceptions.

What does Geno Smith's contract with the Las Vegas Raiders look like?

The Las Vegas Raiders traded for Smith without agreeing to a contract extension first. He has one year remaining on his three-year, $75 million contract with a $31 million cap hit for the 2025 season.

Despite Smith entering the season on a contract year, The Athletic's Diana Russini reported that he is looking for a contract that gives him between $40 and $45 million per year. The Las Vegas Raiders are in a position where they can fit that type of contract under their salary cap structure. They have $74 million of effective cap space, as per Over The Cap.

The Las Vegas Raiders will likely look to keep Smith for more than just the 2025 season.
