The New York Jets appear to be suckers for punishment over the last decade or so, and it doesn't appear to be stopping anytime soon under Aaron Glenn.

After a horror 2025, as Glenn and Darren Mougey tried to clean up the mess left by the previous coaches, it was tough sledding, and 2026 looks to be following a similar path.

With no outright starting quarterback to have any confidence in, the Jets are expected to again go to free agency and look for a stable veteran to be a bridge option, much like Justin Fields.

And The Athletic's Zack Rosenblatt has named a couple of options, but fans won't like who he thinks is the early favorite.

“The Jets will be in on the group of quarterbacks who were cut by other teams and have significant money left on their contracts, which makes them much cheaper to sign (as in, they’ll likely be signed for the minimum salary, $1.3 million),” Rosenblatt wrote. “That includes Kyler Murray, Geno Smith and, if/when he’s cut, Tua Tagovailoa. Smith feels like the early favorite.”

Is Geno the answer?

To be blunt, none of the quarterbacks Rosenblatt mentioned are "the" answer long-term, but for now, they could be.

We have seen the likes of Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold blossom into quality starters once they changed teams; maybe Murray and Tua could be next. But as for Geno? That isn't likely.

His year with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025 wasn't good viewing, and now that he's a free agent, his days as a starter are likely over.

Or so we thought, as he is reportedly New York's favorite right now.

And I'm not sure how Jets fans will feel about having Geno as their starting quarterback in 2026.
