Smith & Wilson: Seahawks QBs Reunite with Jets?

0:00On April 29, back in 2022, the Seattle Seahawks traded Russell Wilson to the Denver Broncos for a haul, including two first round picks, handing the starting job to Gino Smith. Smith wasted no time, topping Wilson's single season passing marks right out the gate and looking like the future. Fast forward to now, and both quarterbacks have hit rough patches, but get this. They might link up again with the New York Jets. Smith, who the Jets drafted in the second round back in 2013, could return there after stints as a backup and then Seattle's guy, their Seahawks stays overlap for three seasons, and despite some tension when Wilson left, no bad blood seems to linger. Smith even admitted feeling like he was always in Wilson's shadow up north. Lately, neither has lit it up. Smith started 15 games for the 2 and 13 Raiders last year, hitting 67.4% of passes. For 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns and 17 picks.

1:00Wilson, 37 now, barely played for the Giants, going 58% for 831 yards with three scores and three picks. Each way, picture this reversal, Smith reclaiming his old turf as the potential starter, with Wilson, 35, sliding in as backup for 2026. NFL circles just got a whole lot twistier.
