Inside the new Geno Smith agreement

The quarter-tree Geno Smith obtained his extension. He did not get him from the team that everyone thought he would get.

Four weeks ago today, the Seahawks suddenly concluded an agreement to exchange Smith to the Raiders. On Thursday, news emerged by two new years added to a year remaining on its existing agreement with Seattle.

According to a source knowing the conditions, Smith’s remuneration in 2025 has increased from $ 31 million to $ 40 million.

In 2026 Smith had a basic salary of $ 26.5 million. Of this amount, $ 18.5 million is fully guaranteed at the signing. The remaining 8 million dollars are guaranteed for an injury; It becomes entirely guaranteed on the third day of the year of the 2026 League.

In 2027, Smith should make an unwanted salary of $ 39.5 million.

The agreement includes $ 3.5 million each year of incentives, for a maximum payment of $ 116.5 million.

The contract has $ 58.5 million fully guaranteed at the signature. That said, raiders could still eliminate the plug (or exchange the contract) after a season. As he would probably not play in 2026 for total compensation of $ 18.5 million, the raiders could ultimately have to do nothing beyond the $ 40 million he won in 2025.

The Seahawks, on the other hand, can get out of the Darnold agreement after a year and 37.5 million dollars. Without problem of lag for 2026.

Anyway, the third year is an obvious option. If they maintain it beyond 2025, this is a contract of $ 66.5 million over two years with 2027 TBD.
