Geno Smith

Raiders coach Pete Carroll said the team is working on an extension with Geno Smith.

Smith is entering the final year of his deal and declined an offer from the Seahawks shortly before the team moved him to Vegas. The desire for the extension is the whole reason Smith is in Las Vegas. The 34-year-old signal-caller will be a lock to start for the Raiders this season, but he could also serve as a reliable bridge to whoever the Raiders add in the draft to be their eventual franchise QB. Keeping Smith in tow for the next few seasons would bode well for both parties in the short and long term.
