Jets reportedly reacquire QB Geno Smith in trade with Raiders
The Jets acquired Geno Smith as their expected 2026 starter in a pick swap, with the Raiders covering most of Smith's restructured contract, sources said.
- On March 10, 2026, the Jets agreed to acquire Geno Smith from the Raiders in a late-round pick swap, with Smith restructuring his contract, and the Raiders paying most of it, reported ESPN and AP.
- Raiders urgency to clear salary and draft around a new QB pushed the decision, as the $8 million guarantee due March 13 and targeting Fernando Mendoza prompted moves, while the Jets sought clarity after the Justin Fields experiment.
- Geno Smith, who the Jets drafted in 2013, has a 65.2% completion rate and 22,168 yards in his career, with notable resurgence in recent seasons.
- The Jets immediately gain a veteran expected to start in 2026, with reports indicating Smith is projected as their QB1 for that season, providing clarity and a higher ceiling than Justin Fields.
- The deal can't be official until Wednesday; the Jets gain a veteran quarterback while the Raiders focus on drafting Indiana quarterback Fernando Mendoza, according to reports.
