Gang Green Nation on Geno Smith
From the article
The Jets didn't quite get Geno Smith for free this offseason, but it was darned close. Gang Green reacquired its once-second round Draft pick in a trade that involved swapping a sixth round pick for a seventh round pick and tacking a $3 million sweetener onto Smith's contract.
STACKED’s take
Smith acquired cheaply after poor 2025; 2024 reversion would be top Jets season in 15 years.
The Jets reacquired Geno Smith in a trade involving a sixth-to-seventh round pick swap plus a $3 million contract sweetener, with the Raiders covering most of his salary. Smith's 2025 season with Las Vegas was ugly, and his value fell accordingly—he was the only qualifying quarterback to post a lower QBR than Justin Fields' 38.7. JJ Zachariason argues Smith doesn't need to be great this year; even a reversion to his 2024 form would give the Jets one of their top quarterback seasons in the last decade and a half. The real test for Aaron Glenn and Darren Mougey is whether they correctly identified that Smith's 2025 struggles were infrastructure-related and can bounce back, which would provide evidence they know how to target a quarterback heading into the 2027 Draft when they hold three first-round picks.
