Las Vegas Raiders quarterback let head coach Pete Carroll know just how he feels about him.

Smith was traded to the Las Vegas Raiders in March after reviving his career with the Seattle Seahawks; Carroll was head coach of the Seahawks when Smith was signed in 2019 and until 2023. Carroll was hired as head coach of the Raiders in January. In a press conference after he signed a 2-year $75 million contract extension on Monday, Smith said he was willing to “run through a wall” for him, and Smith assured him he feels the same way.
