We first caught wind on Thursday that the Jets had been speaking to deal with Tyron Smith. On the time, the talks entailed an incentive-laden deal.
Per a supply with data of the state of affairs, the Jets didn’t consider they’d land him. They thought it was a part of a leverage play to seek out one thing higher.
If it was, he didn’t discover something higher — and he opted to take the deal.
And so the Jets unexpectedly land a blocker who, if wholesome, upgrades the offensive line, considerably. It additionally implies that the Jets most probably received’t be following the Aaron Rodgers friends-and-former-teammates plan by pursuing former Packers left deal with David Bakhtiari.
Then once more, perhaps they’ll get fortunate once more, touchdown him for a bargain-basement deal if he can’t discover something higher elsewhere.
That’s just about what occurred with Smith. We’ll await the true particulars on the deal. For now, the Jets are shocked that Smith agreed to phrases. They may find yourself being pleasantly shocked with what they get out of the 33-year-old who can be embarking on his 14th NFL season, and his first with a workforce apart from the Cowboys.
