Geno Smith’s tenure with the Raiders is ending, as confirmed by general manager John Spytek, who noted they haven’t communicated since the season’s conclusion. Following a disastrous season, where Smith led the league with 17 interceptions and the team finished with the worst record, the Raiders are expected to release him before the new league year. The franchise aims to draft Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza with the first overall pick and is looking for a veteran quarterback to mentor him. Releasing Smith will save the Raiders $8 million, clearing the path for Mendoza’s arrival.
