The Las Vegas Raiders made their move at quarterback this offseason by trading for Geno Smith from the Seattle Seahawks, reuniting him with his former head coach, Pete Carroll. While that relationship played a big role in getting this deal to the finish line, it turns out Raiders minority owner Tom Brady was also involved.

Geno Smith's six-year run with the Seattle Seahawks ended last week after the veteran quarterback was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders. On Thursday, Smith thanked the organization and its fans for his time in Seattle.

Before the deal got done that sent Geno Smith to Las Vegas for a third round pick, the Raiders shot down the Seahawks completely bonkers offer.
