The Seattle Seahawks tried to win with Geno Smith, but couldn't. Neither could the Las Vegas Raiders this year, but the quarterback might get yet another attempt to make the playoffs with the Minnesota Vikings in 2026.
That is what ESPN's Jeremy Fowler and Dan Graziano recently suggested, at least. Minnesota, which somehow managed to 9-8 despite having atrocious quarterback play, is rumored to be looking to acquire quarterback competition for ascending third-year pro J.J. McCarthy, who has yet to prove he can be a good QB in the league. Smith could be that competition.
