So that's actually 2.3 in cap savings. His guaranteed amount was 18.5. So he's getting an extra million. Wow far cry from McDoufess and Ziegler.

Geno likely ends up with some more money than he would have with an outright release because if it were an outright release then he'd have just ended up playing for the vet minimum.

The Raiders get to swap a 7 for a 6 - essentially zeroing out the cost of the Taron Johnson trade.

The Jets get the first overall pick in 2027.

Aaron Glenn gets to sit on the couch in 2027 and get paid millions to do it.

Some Raider defensive players win in this as well - we play the Jets in 2026.

My Jet buddy is flabbergasted...

I had to talk him down off the roof...

I told him you have a great shot of #1 overall next year...

Then I reminded him of 0.14...

He went back on the roof...

Espn graded the trade as a B for the raiders and a D for the Jets

I get the Jets wanting to secure 1st overall but clearly they thought Smith would have a market in free agency as there’s no other reason to trade and pay him more than they had to. I suspect they noticed the Cardinals added Minshew making them a threat for 1st overall and aggressively went after their guy.

I think the Jets just knew that no player would choose them over another situation other than for the $$. If Geno had been released, then they essentially could not pay him more than another team could pay him because any extra above the minimum would just end up in the Raiders pockets due to offsets. So they made a trade instead. I'm still surprised they were willing to make this trade, but they may have higher hopes for Geno than we do.

Until Grandpa Manning gets wind they are going to draft him and gets him to pull an Eli

Holy crap...I fully understand why the Raiders would wan to jettison Geno but why would the Jets want him?

Wait, N/M...It's the Jets.

Are teams drafting him based off DNA or production. Haven't heard much about him doing anything special in college.

Edit: I see he had a good 25....

What a sweet man. After flashing Raider Nation not 1, but 2 “One Love” symbols

in recognition of his effort in giving us the 1st pick, he’s off to right the wrongs he’s done to the Jets. The compassion and charity of this man rivals the Buddha.

Agreed, we were cutting him anyway, eating 18.5M. Jets give us 20 draft spots and reduce our cap hit down to 16.2 M.
