“In Other Words Arch Manning” “#1 Overall Pick”: NFL Fans Troll Aaron Glenn for Backing Geno Smith to Take Jets to “Promised Land”

Glenn said Smith’s recent Pro Bowl-level play outweighs his rocky Jets past, and the team paid just $3.3 million to add him.

  • On Tuesday, New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn told reporters at the NFL's annual meeting that Geno Smith is "the guy that's going to lead us to the promised land."
  • The Jets acquired Smith from the Las Vegas Raiders in a trade, agreeing to pay $3.3 million of his $18.5 million salary after he threw a league-high 17 interceptions last season.
  • Glenn called Smith "the perfect guy to fit exactly what we're going to do," citing his 71 touchdowns and 27-22 record during three seasons as the Seattle Seahawks' starter.
  • While Smith is widely viewed as a bridge quarterback, the Jets hold the 2nd and 16th picks in the upcoming draft to potentially identify a long-term solution.
  • General manager Darren Mougey stated on Monday that the team's strategy does not currently factor in the talent-rich 2027 quarterback class, focusing instead on the immediate 2026 season.
