Geno Smith News
Tuesday, March 10, 10:31 AM
The New York Jets are acquiring veteran quarterback Geno Smith and a 2026 seventh-round draft pick from the Las Vegas Raiders on Tuesday in exchange for a 2026 sixth-round selection, sources told Adam Schefter of ESPN. Going into his 13th year in the NFL, the 35-year-old signal-caller will reunite with the organization that took him 39th overall in the second round of the 2013 NFL draft out of West Virginia. Justin Fields failed miserably as a big free-agent acquisition for the Jets last year, so now they will bring Smith back and have him likely compete with another free-agent veteran addition to the QB room. There has been a lot of smoke about Minnesota Vikings backup QB Carson Wentz as another option. Smith was a Pro Bowler in 2022 and 2023 in Seattle, but he flopped in 2025 with the Raiders, throwing for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and a league-high 17 picks. If Smith wins the starting QB gig in New York in 2026, he'll be a low-end QB2 in superflex leagues, at best.

Jimmy Garoppolo News
Sunday, March 22, 9:37 AM
The Los Angeles Rams are interested in bringing back veteran free-agent quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, but the market for him is fluid, according to Nate Atkins of The Athletic. If the Rams don't retain Jimmy G, they could opt for another trusted veteran to back up Matthew Stafford, or they could look to the NFL draft to find both a backup and an heir apparent to replace Stafford once he retires. It's unlikely that the Rams will use the No. 13 overall pick in the first round in this year's draft on a QB when next year's draft appears to be much stronger at the position. The 34-year-old Garoppolo has appeared in just four games and has made one start for the Rams in his two seasons with the team. Since the start of the 2023 season, Garoppolo has attempted just 210 passes for 1,539 yards, nine touchdowns, and 10 interceptions in eight games (seven starts). He has completed 67.4% of his passes in his 12-year NFL career, though, and he remains one of the most experienced backup QBs in the league.
