Geno Smith Returns to Jets, Starting QB

0:00On March 29th, Geno Smith is making a full-circle comeback to the New York Jets after a trade from the Raiders earlier this month. The veteran quarterback first started 30 games for the Jets from 2013-16, and now coach Aaron Glinn just confirmed Hill. Be the 2026 starting signal caller. No competition expected, he's locked in to leave the offense right away. Glinn told NFL Network, it brings a proven starter to push the team forward. No doubts about his skills. Smith bounced around after leaving New York, shining brightest with the Seahawks where he made two probals and threw for over 12,000 yards. But last season in Vegas turned rough with 17 picks and a three-win disaster that got his old coach Pete Carol fired. Fans and insiders see this as a fresh shot for Smith to rebound, especially after that Raiders mess handed them the number one pick. Carol himself backed the move hard, saying he loves the guy and wants him to thrive in New York. It's all support from his circle as he settles back in.

Still, Smith starts day one even if they draft talent. Word is this sets up a bridge year, giving the Jets stability while grooming the future. Smith's experience could spark something real if he clicks. Like he did in Seattle. That's the story for today, NFL News Today, driven by AI, I'm Corey with The Story.
