# Will Geno Smith be the Jets starting QB in 2026?

Yes, all signs point to **Geno Smith being the Jets' starting QB for the 2026 season** — the wiki lists his role as "Starting QB for New York Jets" (from the Geno Smith page).

The Jets acquired him for this season, then built an entirely new supporting cast around him: first-round picks Kenyon Sadiq (TE) and Omar Cooper Jr. (WR), plus Adonai Mitchell and Mason Taylor, with the same offensive line returning as the "crown jewel." And perhaps most tellingly, OC Frank Reich — who's coached Manning, Luck, Rivers, and Kelly — publicly endorsed Smith at minicamp, calling his football mind "elite" and saying "we're in good shape" with him running the offense (from the Geno Smith page).

Over on *Underdog Fantasy Football*, Josh & Hayden noted this is "the most talented offense" Smith has been a part of ([hear the clip](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqlt6PJ45l0&t=297s)). So unless something drastic changes, Geno is the guy in New York for 2026.
