Episode Details

The New York Jets have traded for Geno Smith, their former second-round pick, and named him their starting quarterback for the 2026 season. In exchange for a 2026 sixth-round pick, they received a seventh-rounder from the Las Vegas Raiders. The move, criticized by fans and analysts, comes after the Jets traded away stars like Sauce Gardner and Quinnen Williams for future picks, signaling a rebuild focused on draft capital. Smith, who struggled last year with a low passer rating, returns after nine years away. The Raiders, meanwhile, benefited from Smiths play, landing the first overall pick on Fernando Mendoza, and plan to add a veteran backup like Tyrod Taylor behind their new star.
