Jets to reunite with Geno Smith after Raiders gain draft pick in trade: reports

The Las Vegas Raiders lost 10-7 to the Denver Broncos, and Geno Smith had a forgettable game. The Raiders are 2-7, and Colin Cowherd asks if it’s time for Las Vegas to bench Smith.

After a turbulent season with the Las Vegas Raiders, Geno Smith appears poised for a full-circle comeback.

Rather than release him, the Raiders agreed to trade Geno Smith to the Jets, ESPN reported Tuesday. The Jets also picked up a seventh-round pick in next month's NFL Draft, while the Raiders gained a sixth-rounder.

The Jets selected Smith in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft. After four seasons, he crossed the hall at MetLife Stadium to sign with the Giants.

The deal cannot be finalized until Smith passes a physical and the new league year opens Wednesday. In his rookie season with the Jets, Smith threw nearly twice as many interceptions as touchdowns.

Smith evened his touchdown-to-interception ratio in 2014, throwing 13 in each category, and was relegated to the bench more than once during his second NFL season.
