Jets lose Brad Smith to Bills
The worst case scenario for the New York Jets has played out with regard to wide receiver/kick-returner/quarterback Brad Smith.
The versatile football player will return to the AFC East this year, but not with the Jets. He will play for the rival Buffalo Bills this season, after growing tired of waiting for the Jets to come to him with a contract offer.
The Bills offered Smith three years for $15 million, and he will serve in various capacities for the Bills, from a return man to wide receiver and quarterback.
Don't be surprised to see Smith under center more often in Buffalo. The Bills quarterback situation is quite muddled with Tyler Thigpen and Ryan Fitzpatrick ahead of Smith on the depth chart. Smith has a big time arm, and his scrambling ability will make him a dangerous weapon.
While Smith had his moments with the Jets, he was underutilized with them. The Jets had a hard time finding the right schemes and packages to use Smith, and now under the tutelage of Chan Gailey, an offensive mind in Buffalo, Smith could really flourish.
Not signing Smith could be a recurring nightmare for Gang Green this year.
