Good morning Gang Green Nation! The big news of the day is that the New York Jets have a starting quarterback for 2026. The Jets traded a sixth round pick to the Las Vegas Raiders in exchange for Geno Smith and a seventh round pick. Smith will return to where he started his NFL career. While Smith is hardly an exciting acquisition, he will likely be no worse, and possibly a bit better, than most of the other options available to the Jets. The bottom line is whomever the Jets settled on as their starting quarterback this season was very likely to be an unpopular choice, largely because there were few good choices, and the few there were likely had better options available to them. So Geno Smith it is, and we hope he has a season or two in him more like what we saw in Seattle a few years ago than what we saw in Las Vegas last year.
