New York Jets News: Jets Reunion? Insider Links Geno Smith To New York

Good morning on this best of all possible days Gang Green Nation! We have entered silly season for New York Jets rumors. Now we have speculation the Jets may trade for one of Geno Smith, Kyler Murray or Tua Tagovailoa. Let's just say that although the Jets are surely in dire need of options at the quarterback position, these are three of the least palatable options. Tagovailoa is a concussion away from being out of the league and is years away from being an effective NFL quarterback. Murray would bring with him a huge cap hit for a stopgap quarterback who is clearly not a long term solution. Smith just had a horrific year and would be 36 years old in the 2026 season. These are not players you trade assets for and assume their big contracts. These are players you pick up off the scrap heap for a league minimum deal if your other options fall through.

Of course beggars can't be choosers, and right now the Jets are the lowliest beggars in the NFL at the quarterback position. But the Jets are in the midst of a full blown rebuild. There is little point in bringing in an expensive option at quarterback who is all but certain to fail here. Much better to bring in an inexpensive option that is all but certain to fail here. These are the veteran choices the Jets have at the moment - trade and/or spend a lot or a little for a bottom of the league dude at quarterback. Will it surprise anyone if the Jets choose the worst option available?
