The Jets traded for Geno Smith, sending a sixth-round pick to the Raiders, amid skepticism due to his poor performance in Las Vegas and previous struggles with the Jets. Former coach Pete Carroll defended Smith, citing coaching failures and poor offensive line protection for his disappointing season, where he led the league in interceptions and sacks. Smith, a Comeback Player of the Year with the Seahawks, returns to the Jets a decade later, with Carroll expressing confidence in his potential for success. The outcome of this reunion remains uncertain, but Carroll supports Smith’s hard work and character.
