Smith said his up-and-down NFL career has helped him “cherish it a little bit more.”The Raiders are putting their hopes and money — they signed Smith to a

that takes it through the 2027 season — that he can help make the franchise at least competitive again.Three AFC West teams made the playoffs last season. The Raiders, who went 4-13, were the only ones taking early vacations, meaning hopes of ending a playoff victory drought that dates to the 2003 season would continue. Smith also has the burden of trying to win in a division with fellow quarterbacks Patrick Mahomes, Justin Herbert and Bo Nix.But Smith also takes over an offense that includes tight end Brock Bowers, wide receiver Jakobi Meyers and running back Ashton Jeanty.

Bowers comes off a rookie season in which he was named an AP All-Pro after catching 112 passes for 1,194 yards. Meyers, who took over as the top receiver after Davante Adams, broke the 1,000-yard barrier for the first time. Jeanty was

this year out of Boise State after finishing second in the Heisman Trophy balloting.

“Winning is something that we want to do right now,” Smith said. “Just seeing the direction everything’s going and how hard these guys are working and just how bad everyone wants to win, I’m fortunate to be a part of this thing. I just want to continue to build it, to continue for this thing to grow. The sky’s the limit for this team, this organization. I can’t wait to see how it all comes together.”It’s possible there’s a blockage, but the largest stomach of a reindeer is quite big and not easily obstructed, Holland said. However, ingested plastic bags causing chronic weight loss and indigestion problems are the most common foreign objects she’s seen in reindeer.

The next option would be surgery to look at the reindeer’s abdomen and possibly remove any blockage, but it’s generally a poor outcome, even in healthy deer, she said.The bond between Whitehead and Star is “quite significant and precious,” Holland said.

“Albert’s daily life and reason for getting out for walks and such all are because of Star. And Star is really fond of Albert, too,” Holland said in a text. “It will be quite devastating for him if he loses Star.”Anchorage pioneers Oro and Ivan Stewart started the reindeer tradition, bringing the deer they received from an Alaska Native herder to Anchorage in the 1950s. Whitehead took over as caretaker from his friends in 2002.
