The deal is the third big move for the Raiders in the past 24 hours. The team also locked up offensive lineman Kelechi Osemele (reportedly for 5 years, $60M) and linebacker Bruce Irvin (4 years, $37M).
In three seasons with the Chiefs, Smith had 46 passes defensed and five interceptions.
He was a second-round draft pick by the Miami Dolphins in 2009 and spent four years with the club.
