After playing five seasons with the Seattle Seahawks, Smith made the switch to the Raiders. Russell, on the other hand, was the No. 1 pick in the 2007 draft and made 25 starts in three years before leaving the NFL for good. Although Crosby played nine snaps, Smith only managed to play four before being benched. Smith gained his entry into the Seahawks in place of Russell Wilson.
