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.

Gino Smith's move to the Jets is viewed skeptically despite his career revitalization with Seattle; the speaker expresses strong reluctance to invest in him, citing Frank Reich being two years removed from the NFL, Aaron Glenn as a lame duck coach, and the Jets' overall dysfunction. The speaker states: 'If Gino Smith, 12 years after the Jets got rid of him, successfully revives with Frank Reich two years out of the NFL and Aaron Glenn as a lame duck. Then you know what? I guess I won't win my fantasy league.' The speaker also notes 'it's not been a good start to him in New York either,' signaling early-season concerns.
