Cade Klubnik's rookie season with Jets may hinge on Geno Smith's performance

Cade Klubnik's rookie season with the New York Jets is unfolding amid high expectations during the 2026 NFL training camp. His progress has showcased both strengths and weaknesses typical of a rookie. The team's decision on whether to deploy Klubnik will largely depend on Geno Smith's performance as the starting quarterback. If Smith excels and keeps the Jets competitive, Klubnik may not see the field at all. However, should the team struggle and Smith perform poorly, the calls for Klubnik to take over will likely intensify as the Jets also look ahead to the 2027 NFL Draft, where they hold three first-round picks.
