Jets Name Geno Smith Starting QB

0:00It's March 30th. This is NFL News today, AI-powered stories shaping the season. Jets head coach Aaron Glinn just put all the quarterback talk to rest, naming 35-year-old Geno Smith the starter for the 2026 season. Smith joined the team via trade from the Las Vegas Raiders back in early March, right as free agency kicked off. Speculation had been swirling about the Jets' QB room ever since, with everyone guessing if they'd chase a rookie in the draft, or snag another veteran, to compete. Smith's career has been full of highs and lows, capped by a rough three wins and 14 losses last season on a sinking raider squad that finished, near the bottom. Glinn laid it out straight during an NFL network interview, staring right into the camera to shut down any ideas of changes at the position. With that declaration, the Jets signal their set was Smith under center, eyes now shifting to building around him for the year ahead.
