DONE DEAL: Las Vegas Raiders Sign Rising Star Jeremiah Smith to 4-Year, $50 Million Rookie Contract<\/p>\n

\u2014 ESPN<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

In a blockbuster move signaling their commitment to youth and talent, the Las Vegas Raiders have officially signed rising star wide receiver Jeremiah Smith to a four-year rookie contract worth a reported $50 million, sources told ESPN.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Smith, the No. 1 wide receiver prospect in the 2025 NFL Draft and a standout from Ohio State, was selected with the 7th overall pick. Known for his elite speed, crisp route-running, and explosive playmaking ability, Smith is expected to become a cornerstone of the Raiders’ offense. The contract includes $32 million guaranteed and a $12 million signing bonus, making it one of the most lucrative rookie deals for a non-quarterback in recent memory.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Raiders GM Tom Telesco called Smith “a generational talent,” adding, “We believe Jeremiah will make an immediate impact and help elevate our offense to a new level.”<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Smith dominated at Ohio State with over 1,300 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns in his final season, earning first-team All-American honors. Now joining a Raiders squad in the midst of a rebuild, he\u2019s projected to be a Day 1 starter alongside veteran wideout Davante Adams, giving quarterback Aidan O\u2019Connell an exciting new weapon.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With Smith locked in through 2029, Las Vegas fans have reason to be optimistic about the team\u2019s future.<\/p>\n\n
