Raiders' Geno Smith Era Ends, Top Draft Pick in Sight

0:00Here's more NFL news for March 6th. Last year, the Las Vegas Raiders started with big hopes thanks to new head coach Pete Carroll and quarterback Gino Smith. But the team wrapped up with just a three-win, 14-loss record. That poor finish has them lined up for the number one overall pick in April's NFL draft. Right after the season, the Raiders fired Carroll and planned to release Smith before free agency kicks off next week. Fans were buzzing online when news of Smith's release broke. He posted a cryptic message on social media thanking God, which sparked plenty of back and forth. Raider nation fired back with their own thanks for his one year on the team, complete with a fitting nickname that summed up the whole saga. In the end, enduring that tough season and the $58 million price tag seems worth it if it lands them a top quarterback prospect. Support for this episode comes from our sponsor, see the description.
