Geno Smith’s bold declaration, “I came to run the table,” has quickly captured attention as he begins his new chapter with the Las Vegas Raiders. Following his trade from the Seattle Seahawks and a two-year, $75 million contract extension, Smith is embracing the challenge of leading a team looking to rebound from a disappointing 4-13 season.
Smith’s confidence is not misplaced. Over the last three seasons with Seattle, he completed 68.5% of his passes, throwing for 76 touchdowns and over 12,000 yards. His arrival in Las Vegas brings much-needed stability to a position that was a glaring weakness for Las Vegas in 2024. Coupled with a revamped coaching staff led by Pete Carroll, Smith is poised to rejuvenate the team’s offense.
The team’s offseason moves bolster Smith’s optimism. Rookie running back Ashton Jeanty, a 2024 Heisman finalist, joins the backfield with high expectations after dominating college football. Tight end Brock Bowers also returns after a stellar 112-catch season, providing Smith with a reliable target. Additions like guard Alex Cappa, linebacker Germaine Pratt, and safety Jeremy Chinn further strengthen the roster.
However, the road ahead won’t be easy. The Raiders face stiff competition in the AFC West, home to perennial contenders like the Kansas City Chiefs and playoff-caliber teams such as the Chargers and Broncos. Despite the daunting task, Smith’s determination to lead Las Vegas to success reflects his veteran mindset and leadership qualities.
