The New York Jets<\/a>, in Aaron Glenn’s second year as head coach, will be expected to show some sort of improvement after the debacle last season.<\/p>\n

Granted, improving on a three-win season is a low bar, but the Jets simply have to start showing something productive soon, and in 2026, they will look to a veteran quarterback in Geno Smith to be the shining light.<\/p>\n

But some weren’t sure whether the Jets had signed Geno as the starter, with Bailey Zappe and Brady Cook also on the roster.<\/p>\n

However, if you thought there was going to be a quarterback competition in the offseason, Glenn just squashed that idea.<\/p>\n

“No doubt about it,” Glenn said via NFL.com<\/a>. “He’s our guy.”<\/p>\n

Geno a Jets stop-gap?<\/p>\n

Well, you would think so, right?<\/p>\n

Geno isn’t likely to lead the Jets to a Super Bowl win, so the general thought is that he will play a key role in keeping the franchise afloat, while also allowing them freedom to attack the position in the draft next year, where there are a handful of potential options.<\/p>\n

Justin Fields was viewed in the same manner last offseason, and now he is with the Kansas City Chiefs<\/a>, so Geno likely won’t be the long-term option for the Jets.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It will be tough sledding in 2026 for New York as the franchise tries to climb out of the NFL doldrums, and in Smith, they have a veteran quarterback who has seen it all before, so nothing will faze him.<\/p>\n

It’s a one-year rental until the Jets can find who they think can finally be their franchise guy.<\/p>\n
