Ex-Jets Quarterback Signs Back With AFC East Rival Ahead of Week 6

The New York Jets secured a much-needed 17-12 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Week 5 to move to 2-3 on the season. They’ve continued to rally behind veteran quarterback Geno Smith, who’s played solid football through five weeks. He’s completing 69.4% of his passes for 1,084 yards, six touchdowns and zero interceptions. Backing him up is rookie QB Cade Klubnik, whom the Jets drafted out of Clemson. Klubnik beat out fellow 2025 rookie Brady Cook for the backup job, and the Jets ultimately waived Cook during final roster cuts ahead of this season.
