The Las Vegas Raiders’ offseason will be about the additions they make. However, some of their additions will come by subtraction.
Time to Move On
The Raiders traded for quarterback Geno Smith last offseason, after hiring Pete Carroll as their head coach. Things quickly went south, as the Raiders suffered injuries their roster was not able to sustain, playing a large role in Smith’s forgettable season in Las Vegas.
Las Vegas will soon have to make a decision about Smith’s future, as it makes little sense to use the No. 1 draft pick on a quarterback and still have a highly-paid signal caller still on the roster. The Raiders will take a cap hit if they cut Smith, but could also save a little money depending on timing.
