Aaron Glenn Thinks Geno Smith Will Lead Jets to "Promised Land"
New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn said new quarterback Geno Smith is "the guy that's going to lead us to the promised land," according to ESPN's Rich Cimini. The Jets failed miserably with their free-agent acquisition of QB Justin Fields in 2025, and now they will turn to Smith, who led the NFL with 17 interceptions last year in his lone season with the Las Vegas Raiders. If Glenn is referring to the "promised land" as the No. 1 overall draft pick for 2027, we might believe him. Smith was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and 2023 with the Seattle Seahawks, but he's regressed significantly over the last two years and will now lead a Jets offense that doesn't have many playmakers behind running back Breece Hall and receiver Garrett Wilson. The 35-year-old veteran won't have much upside as a low-end QB2 option in superflex leagues. He completed 67% of his passes in 2025 for 3,025 yards and 19 touchdowns. After becoming a legitimate QB1 in Seattle, Smith is now looking more like the journeyman backup that he was earlier in his career.
