The New York Jets made the correct decision this week at the NFL Trade Deadline. They held on to Geno Smith because his veteran leadership is needed to help develop young offensive weapons, including Braelon Allen, Omar Cooper Jr, Kenyon Sadiq, and Mason Taylor.
Plus, if Smith continues to play at his current level, he would be the leading candidate to return next season as Gang Green’s bridge QB to the future. Of course, the big question is, who will be anointed as the “Next Franchise QB”.
The NFL Draft is still five months away, and the top QBs still have time to improve their draft stock. On Saturday, you’ll be able to watch a head-to-head matchup between #7 Arch Manning and #9 Sam Leavitt when Manning’s Texas Longhorns visit Leavitt’s LSU Tigers.
