Smith comes into a much better situation here with Reich as his offensive coordinator, an above average OL, an above average RB, and a WR room that if nothing else has a true WR1.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Smith's situation improved dramatically with Reich, better OL, and true WR1 support.

Smith returns to the Jets for his second stint after a disastrous 2025 with Las Vegas, where he faced Chip Kelly as OC, the NFL's fifth-worst pass-blocking OL per PFF, arguably the worst WR group, and severely underperforming RB Ashton Jeanty. Now he enters a much better situation with Frank Reich as OC, an above-average OL, an above-average RB, and a true WR1. The source notes Aaron Glenn is betting on Smith returning to his Seattle form, though certainty is limited.
