Raiders QB Geno Smith excited to reunite with Pete Carroll

HENDERSON, Nev. -- Speaking to reporters for the first time since being traded from the Seattle Seahawks to the Las Vegas Raiders, quarterback Geno Smith highlighted his relationship with coach Pete Carroll as one of the biggest reasons for wanting to wear the Silver and Black.

"I think there is unfinished business," Smith said Monday. "And I think, when people think about my story, Coach Carroll was a big part of that. He gave me an opportunity when not many people would have."

Smith played four of his five seasons with the Seahawks under Carroll.
