On Friday, the Las Vegas Raiders traded for Geno Smith and Maxx Crosby is excited about the move.
Crosby reacted to the news of the Raiders’ trade via the social media site X. He posted a three-letter acronym, plus some emoticons.
“LFG!!!!!!!!!” Crosby wrote on X, adding three skull and crossbones flags.
Crosby is pumped over the deal.
Crosby just signed a record three-year, $105.5 million extension with the Raiders. Turning down that kind of money would have been tough, but it was probably easier to commit to the team knowing it had plans to bring in a quarterback.
Las Vegas went 4-13 last season and had some poor quarterback play between Aidan O’Connell, Gardner Minshew and Desmond Ridder. Smith gives it an experienced veteran who has led a team to the playoffs.
Keep in mind that just because it acquired Smith does not preclude the Raiders from drafting a quarterback. They may do that with their first-round pick and plan to use Smith as a bridge QB for 2025. Either way, the Raiders should be improved next season.
