Jets Stand Firm On Geno Smith Despite Trade Calls
The Jets rejected trade offers for Geno Smith after a 35-12 loss. Tom Pelissero confirms the team wants to keep the veteran QB despite a 2-7 record.
The New York Jets have firmly maintained their stance on retaining quarterback Geno Smith, despite trade offers flooding in following a tough 35-12 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs. Sources reveal that multiple teams have inquired about the cost to acquire Smith, but New York has firmly rejected these talks. The team's management believes in the value of their current roster and does not intend to rebuild around a new quarterback at this time.
According to Heavy.com, the Jets have received and rejected trade inquiries on Smith. The veteran quarterback has shown his worth with 2,078 passing yards, 12 touchdowns, and only three interceptions this season. Six of the team's seven losses have come in close games, indicating their competitive spirit. The Jets' decision to stick with Smith is a strategic move, as trading him now would likely yield little in return for a 2-7 team.
Their next matchup is set for Sunday, Nov. 15, at 1 p.m. ET against the Buffalo Bills at MetLife Stadium.
