New York Jets head coach Aaron Glenn wants Geno Smith to have a big season in 2026 and he’s trying to force it into existence with public praise of the quarterback.

In his first season as head coach, Glenn convinced NY Jets fans that free agent addition Justin Fields could finally reach his potential and become a star for Gang Green. Ultimately, the former Chicago Bears first-round pick had the worst season of his career and was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs this month to serve as their new QB2.

In 2026, the coaches will go with another new QB1. This time, it will be former Las Vegas Raiders starter Geno Smith. Unlike Fields, Smith has had success in the league and is a two-time Pro Bowler. However, he is still coming off a season where he went 2-13 and threw a league-leading 17 interceptions. Still, Glenn really wants NY Jets fans to believe that Smith can be a big difference maker next season.

“There’s something about a quarterback with a chip on his shoulder,” Glenn told SNY at an NFL meeting this week. “And he’s proven a lot with what he’s done in this league. Especially when you factor in his time in Seattle. He fits the bill perfectly with what we’re trying to do. We’ve created an identity. The foundation of our offense is great now.”

“… I just feel like he’s the guy that’s going to lead us to the promised land. The guy that’s going to touch the ball more than anybody else. I know he’s had his struggles. A lot of quarterbacks have their struggles.”

Could 2026 be a comeback season for Smith? It is definitely possible. He was playing behind, arguably, the NFL’s worst offensive line last season, and also has a Comeback Player of the Year award on his resume. However, this would also be an opinion that ignores the obvious.

Before turning his career around with the Seattle Seahawks, Smith was viewed as a draft bust who developed into a journeyman QB in the league. When he won CPOTY honors in 2022, he threw for 30 touchdowns. Since then he has not come even close to that number and last year his number was 19. Additionally, his interceptions have increased from 11 in 2022 to 17 last year.

If the NY Jets were to get Smith a year or two after his big season in 2022, perhaps he could fix the weaknesses of their offense and lead them back to relevance and a playoff run. However, he is four years away from having that career year and will turn 36 in October. An age point when even consistently good QBs start to decline in numbers.

There is far more evidence that Smith will be slightly better than the bad situation he was in 2025, rather than being back to being the player he was in 2022. Glenn is choosing to ignore the obvious, and it’s confusing him. This will likely cost him his job over the next eight months because he is creating expectations that the QB will not make it next season.

Manchester United star Brian Mbeumo will miss the international break with Cameroon due to injury.

Last Friday, the forward played 71 minutes in the Premier League team’s 2-2 draw against AFC Bournemouth. Slovenia international Benjamin Sesko replaced him at the Liberty Stadium.

He was expected to arrive at Sydney’s Kingsford Smith International Airport and be assessed by national team staff. However, ‘Contrary to all expectations, he never came.’

The outlet suspects three reasons for the Manchester United man not making the trip.

• Unilateral decision by the club
• an agreement between the player and his management
• or lack of coordination between various parties

Actu Cameroon does not seem to have the full picture but he proceeded to give his opinion on Mbumo’s absence. There is concern about building without too much foundation.

Flying to Sydney for assessment by Cameroon medical staff would be a great trip at very little expense. The match against China is also in Australia and it is no surprise that Manchester United have left out their player.

Unfortunately, Young suffered an injury during the Wizards’ game against the Golden State Warriors. After suffering an injury to his lower body, the point guard has been ruled out of the game due to a quad contusion.
