Geno Smith News
Tuesday, June 23, 9:18 AM
New York Jets quarterback Geno Smith is being investigated for an incident in which a woman accused him of battery, according to Rich Cimini of ESPN. Police officers were summoned to Smith's home in Florida on Sunday after a woman claiming to be his ex-girlfriend called 911 and said she was assaulted by him. Nobody was arrested or taken into custody at the scene, with the Davie Police Department saying on Monday that it's "not an active case" and is still being reviewed. "We were informed [Monday] evening that, during review, it was determined that this case is being further investigated by detectives. It is active, and we cannot release any additional information at this time," a police spokesperson said in an update on Tuesday. After a rough season with the Las Vegas Raiders in 2025, in which he led the league with 17 interceptions, the Jets acquired him in a trade this offseason, and he's expected to open the 2026 season as their starter, barring a suspension from the league. Even if Smith isn't disciplined by the NFL for this off-the-field incident, he'll be an unattractive low-end QB2 in superflex leagues in 2026.

Jalen Hurts News
Wednesday, June 10, 5:28 AM
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Jalen Hurts enters the 2026 season with his fifth offensive coordinator in as many seasons. When it's worked out, as with Kellen Moore and Shane Steichen, the Eagles have played for Super Bowls, and Hurts has been an MVP contender. When it goes south, as was the case last season with Kevin Patullo, fingers are quick to be pointed, and there are reportedly some in the building who lay responsibility for the team's offensive struggles in 2025 at the feet of Hurts. The former second-round pick has three years remaining on his current deal, with $22 million guaranteed for 2027, but one needs to look no further back than 2020 for an example of the team moving on from a quarterback shortly after agreeing to a big-money extension. In that situation, it was Hurts taking the starting job from Carson Wentz before the former second overall pick was traded away with three years remaining on his second contract. By all accounts, Hurts has been receptive to the constant change around him, but if Philadelphia's offensive struggles continue under new coordinator Sean Mannion, the next change could very well include him.
