Blockbuster: The #Seahawks are trading two-time Pro Bowl QB Geno Smith to the #Raiders for a 2025 third-round pick, sources tell The Insiders. 

It’s a reunion for Pete Carroll and Smith, who also is expected to get a new contract. And Seattle will need a new QB.

Mmm, very interesting move.  Smith isn’t going to have the same offense talent around him, besides te.  

I guess Seattle goes on the clock fool a Qb now.  

[LaChup 228]

Guess the Raiders are out on Shadeur Ball too.

[weepaws 3,141]

I wouldn’t say that, I can see the Raiders still going Qb, Smith isn’t a young player, and I’m not sure if he can duplicate his success with the Raiders like he had with the Hawks.

All but guarantees that Sam Darnold is a Seahawk.

Seahawks Pursuing QB Sam Darnold After Trading Geno Smith

March 7th, 2025 at 6:07pm CST • By Ely Allen

With today’s decision to trade veteran quarterback Geno Smith to Las Vegas, the Seahawks have shifted their focus at the quarterback position. According to Dianna Russini of The Athletic, Vikings pending free agent passer Sam Darnold is the new target to lead the offense in Seattle in 2025.

I wouldn't pay Darnold starter money, he's a choke hack. 

[weepaws 3,141]

Wonder if the Raiders try to make a deal for Metcalf. And Lockett , he was released.

That was discussed last season, Darnold had two very good WRs in Jefferson and Addison.  I still don’t wouldn’t pay him.

You're right, I wouldn't trust him, especially if DK is gone to. That 2 game collapse was an all-time choke job.

Smith is an interesting move, I would think the Raiders need to get some playmakers for him now.  And did throw 15 ints last season.

Smith had 3 good WR  last year.   DK, Locket and Smith-Njigba how many good WR do the raiders have?     

I predict a disaster.

Now the Raiders will definitely draft Jeanty 

[JagFan 144]

Not much to see here.  Two cellar dwellers swapping trash for trash.

[LaChup 228]

I can see Rodgers going to Seattle. He's grunge.

[BufordT 424]

Brock Bowers' value remains intact.  Should be another 100 reception year for him.

I totally agree with you Maximum Overkill on this one. The Raiders running game sucked last year. WR Jacoby Myers is serviceable  and we already know how talented Brock Bowers is drafting of Ashton Jeanty makes perfect sense. Clearly he's the best RB in this class and the Raiders MUST draft Jeanty at pick #6. Some may say that's too early for an RB but their no assurances that a RB they take in round 3 or even round 2 is going to pan out. We know that Jeanty is a franchise running back.and you're not likely to hit the jackpot on an RB on day 2 or 3.

      They play in a division we 3 good teams.and the Raiders, IMO, are at the bottom of the division. I know we say defenses win.championships but you better have an offense that can put points on the board if you're going to compete against Patrick Mahomes and the Chiefs. Taking Jeanty at #6 automatically increases their ability to score points. So, Las Vegas Raiders just don't get cute and over analyze your pick at 6 and RUN to the podium and take RB Ashton Jeanty with your 1st round pick. On another note I wouldn't be surprised to see 3 running backs taken in the first round. Ashton Jeanty, Omarion Hampton and Trey Henderson.

If they draft Jeanty they're a legit offense day 1. It seems like the perfect fit right now

Yes. If they don't draft Jeanty then they have no shot of contending and besting the Broncos, Chargers and Chiefs. They just be a team with a little better QB than last year. If they draft Jeanty then they should at least be able to put points on the board and be respectful competition for the other 3 teams in the division.
