Change Team:
This page lists all the 2025 NFL Signings for the Las Vegas Raiders. I’ve listed all of the NFL Free Agent Signing Grades here, which included the Signings. Because I’ve begun posting polls for the Signings, I thought it would make sense to list just the NFL Signings here, so archiving the voting would be easier.

Raiders extend QB Geno Smith (2 years, $85.5 million): C- Grade
signed on 4/3/2025
The Raiders’ trade of Geno Smith was bizarre, and so is this contract extension. Geno Smith will be getting $66.5 million guaranteed on this 2-year deal for some reason.
Stat geeks may scoff at this grade because Smith looks good in the metrics, but part of that is what he’s been able to accomplish in garbage time. He’s also had at least two excellent receivers at his disposal every year in Seattle. Smith, now 35, won’t be as good in Las Vegas, which makes this extension seem very dubious. Frankly, I don’t know what the Raiders are doing with Smith. They need to rebuild rather than attempt a playoff push with an old, mediocre quarterback.
