Geno Smith has returned to the Jets, where his career started, not as a savior emerging from a breakout elsewhere, but as a cheap veteran with starting experience willing to suit up for a rebuilding franchise.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Smith declined from QB8 (2022) to QB19 (2024); now 36 facing new system with Jets.

Geno Smith's return to the Jets is not as a savior emerging from a breakout elsewhere, but as a cheap veteran with starting experience willing to suit up for a rebuilding franchise. After his 2022 breakout in Seattle (QB8 per game, 21.5 PPG), Smith declined to QB24 (18.2 PPG) in 2023 and QB19 (19.1 PPG) in 2024, rendering him unstartable for long stretches. He was arguably one of the worst full-time starting quarterbacks in the league last year. Now 36 years old, he must adapt to another new roster, coaching staff, and playbook.
