In this episode of Pro Football Focus, we delve into the baffling decision by the Seattle Seahawks to part ways with the underrated talent of Gino Smith. Despite facing a subpar offensive line, Smith showcased his prowess, earning praise for his performance over the years. The Las Vegas Raiders seized the opportunity, acquiring Smith for a mere third-round pick, a move hailed for its exceptional value. With a solid passing grade and a knack for making big plays, Smith emerges as a promising quarterback option for the Raiders, injecting new possibilities into their offensive strategy.
Reports from local media shed light on the breakdown of contract negotiations between Seattle and Smith, revealing a staggering offer of $40-45 million per year which Smith's team promptly rejected. At 35 years old, Smith still exudes potential and seeks a deserving deal elsewhere in the league. Seattle's pursuit of alternative quarterbacks like Sam Darnold raises concerns about the team's ability to fortify their struggling offensive line, a crucial factor for any quarterback's success in the league. The uncertainty surrounding Seattle's quarterback situation post-Smith's departure leaves fans pondering the team's next move and the impact it will have on their upcoming season.
