Maxx Crosby Reacts to Reported Geno Smith Trade to Raiders amid NFL Rumors: 'LFG!!!!!'

Maxx Crosby was a fan of the Las Vegas Raiders' major trade on Friday.

After the Raiders reportedly acquired quarterback Geno Smith in a deal with the Seattle Seahawks, the star pass-rusher expressed his excitement in a social media post.

According to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero, Las Vegas sent Seattle a 2025 third round pick in exchange for the signal-caller.

Dianna Russini of The Athletic reported that Smith is "expected" to receive a new contract with the Raiders and is looking to earn "between" $40 million and $45 million on his next deal.

The two-time Pro Bowl passer will reunite with head coach Pete Carroll, as the two previously spent four seasons together in Seattle from 2020-23.

Smith is coming off a 2024 campaign in which he finished below expectations despite completing 70.4 percent of his passes for a career-high 4,320 yards. He also recorded 21 touchdowns, but his 15 interceptions were the second-most among all quarterbacks last season.

There's reason to believe that he can bounce back in 2025, as he racked up 50 total touchdown passes while getting picked off 20 times across his first two years as Seattle's full-time starter.

Smith also represents an immediate upgrade under center for the Raiders, as they missed the playoffs for a third consecutive season in 2024. Las Vegas' quarterbacks combined to throw for 3,797 yards and 19 touchdowns compared to 16 interceptions.

Crosby remained a bright spot for the Raiders, earning Pro Bowl honors while amassing 7.5 sacks and 17 tackles for loss in 12 games.

He was rewarded with a hefty three-year, $106.5 million contract extension on Wednesday.

With Crosby's new deal and the Raiders' acquisition of Smith, there's hope that Las Vegas can bounce back in 2025.
