The Raiders exchanged the Seahawks last month with a selection of 2025 in the third round.
The takeover of Smith solved the need for the Raiders after a quarterback after the team had to struggle in 2024 under Gardner Minshew and Aidan O'Connell. The most important thing is that Smith's arrival can start immediately under the new regime of head coach Pete Carroll and General Manager John Spytek.
In 2024 Smith broke Seahawks' franchise record for the Passing Yards (4,320) and the final rate (70.4%), while 21 touchdowns and 15 interceptions fell into 17 starts. He led the Seahawks to a 10: 7 record, but they did not qualify for the playoffs.
He has been the fifth player since the AFL-NFL fusion from 1970 to set up a franchise record for passing yards and start the following season with a new team.
In the last three seasons, Smith has been one of the most accurate passers -by in the league and took fourth place in all quarterback in the final percentage and the first in percentage outside the target. During the same period, Raiders Quarterbacks took the 25th place in the completion percentage and the 23rd proportion of the target.
Smith was a two-time per bowl selection under Carroll in Seattle and recorded 8,641 Passing Yards, 55 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in 37 games.
Carroll called Smith an “immediate solution” this week during the NFL annual meeting. However, he did not rule out the possibility of designing a quarterback this month.
Smith is the fourth quarterback in the history of the league, which brings several Pro Bowl selection under a head coach and then comes back to another franchise trainer. After the Seahawks moved on by Smith, they signed the former quarterback from Minnesota Vikings, Sam Darnold, to a three-year deal of $ 100.5 million.
