The New York Jets are optimistic about quarterback Geno Smith's performance following a disappointing 2025 season with the Las Vegas Raiders. Smith started 15 games, finishing with a 2-13 record, 3,025 passing yards, 19 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions. Analyst Ben Solak views Smith's struggles as a 'blip' rather than a trend, citing significant improvements in the Jets' offensive line and supporting cast. The Jets are set for a revamped season with Smith at the helm and enhanced skill players. The Jets hope Smith can regain past productivity from his time with the Seattle Seahawks.
