Geno Smith's Raiders Earnings
Geno Smith signed a two-year, $75 million contract with the Raiders before the 2025-26 season. He earned $40 million during last year's campaign. While they will take on a dead salary cap hit of $18.5 million, the team is saving $8 million in salary by releasing him when they did.
Because Smith's contract included $66.5 million in. guaranteed money, he will still receive that money no matter where he ends up.

Where Does Geno Smith Go From Here?
Smith is now at a crossroads in his career. The Raiders were his fifth NFL team, but he spent the majority of his career with the Seattle Seahawks. Smith thrived in Seattle for several seasons.
There was a lot of hope among Raiders fans that he could provide the same amount of production in Las Vegas. While Smith didn't perform too poorly, he didn't look like the same quarterback he had been with the Seahawks (who won a Super Bowl in their first season without him under center) in years prior.

The good news for the 35-year-old is that he's versatile, in the fact that he could step in as a starting quarterback or assume a back-up role with the right team. He has succeeded in both roles throughout his NFL career, and would likely just want to land with the right fit at this point.

Who is Geno Smith's Family?
Geno Smith prefers to keep his personal life private. However, the quarterback rumored to be married to a woman named Hayley Eastham. The two reportedly met during their time at the University of West Virginia and have been together ever since. Some reports indicate that the couple has been together since 2015.
Geno Smith has a child from a past relationship before he met Eastham. However, he and Eastham are reportedly raising the child together.
His son is named Seven Santana Smith, which is a reference to Geno's number throughout his football career. He was born in July of 2019 and will surely be following his father to whichever team he ends up at.
