Geno Smith was brought in as quarterback for his second tour with the Jets, part of Aaron Glenn's strategy to add experienced, familiar decision-makers to key organizational positions alongside offensive coordinator Frank Reich (a former Jets teammate) and middle linebacker Demario Davis (third tour with team). Glenn opted for 'gray over green,' wanting wise heads in decision-making roles to improve from a historically poor offense that has ranked bottom-10 in scoring for 10 straight years.

Smith is the expected Week 1 starter for the Jets after the team cycled through three different starting quarterbacks (Justin Fields, Tyrod Taylor, and Brady Cook) in 2025. The Jets traded a sixth-round pick to the Raiders to reunite with Smith. All expectations are that Smith, who will be a free agent after this season, is a bridge quarterback to the Jets' next crack at drafting a franchise quarterback with one of their three first-rounders in 2027.
