Geno Smith traded to Raiders — what it means for the Giants

The quarterback carousel in the NFL is off and running, as the Las Vegas Raiders have acquired Geno Smith from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a 2025 third-round pick.

What does this mean for the quarterback-shopping New York Giants?

First, acquiring the 34-year-old Smith probably removes the possibility the Raiders, with the No. 6 overall pick in the NFL Draft, would try to trade up to No. 1 or No. 2 for Cam Ward or Shedeur Sanders.

That is obviously good news for the Giants if they want to trade up for Ward, as much recent speculation has indicated.
