Geno Smith

Aaron Glenn announced that Geno Smith will be the Jets' starting quarterback heading into 2026.

Fantasy Impact

Across 15 appearances this past season with the Raiders, Smith threw 19 touchdowns to 17 interceptions. A change of scenery could help him get back on track, but his days as a fantasy-relevant quarterback are likely over.

Geno Smith has been traded to the New York Jets for sixth round pick. The Raiders are also sending a seventh.

Fantasy Impact

The Jets just might have their bridge quarterback. Though Geno struggled mightily last season, he’s going to be about as cheap an option as any, especially with the team as an undesirable destination for free agent QBs. After some years away, Geno has returned to the Jets. But, the team may not be done just yet at QB.

Connor Hughes of SNY reports that "all signs point towards" Geno Smith returning to the Jets.

Fantasy Impact

The Jets can't officially sign Smith until Wednesday. He may not be the only quarterback they sign in this free agency period as they're also interested in Carson Wentz.

Connor Hughes of SNY reports that Geno Smith’s “preferred destination is Miami."

Fantasy Impact

This report comes on the same morning that Miami officially released Tua Tagovailoa. Hughes added that the Dolphins are interested in Malik Willis, and Smith could be a contingency plan if Willis was to end up in Arizona.

The Raiders are releasing QB Geno Smith.

Fantasy Impact

This move was inevitable with the Raiders expected to draft Fernando Mendoza in April. It was a disastrous first year in Las Vegas for Smith. The Raiders will open up $8 million in salary cap space while taking on $18.5 million in dead money. It is unclear as of now what interest Smith will draw in free agency.
