The New York Jets Make a Bold Move to Sign Pro Bowl Offensive Lineman Tyron Smith to Protect Aaron Rodgers
In a surprising development, the New York Jets have reportedly agreed to sign eight-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Tyron Smith, 33, to strengthen their offensive line in front of newly-acquired quarterback Aaron Rodgers. This move comes after the recent acquisition of Morgan Moses to further bolster their offensive line.
Smith, a consistent Pro Bowl performer and second-team All-Pro selection last season, will join Moses and Alijah Vera-Tucker to protect Rodgers’ blindside. The Jets acquired Rodgers last year with hopes of making a playoff run, but his season was cut short due to an Achilles injury. However, reports indicate that Rodgers is expected to be healthy at the start of the upcoming season.
General manager Joe Douglas wasted no time in securing Smith, as his market did not develop as expected. This deal provides the Jets with more flexibility in the upcoming NFL draft, where they are looking to strengthen their offense. Douglas has shown a willingness to make bold moves in the draft, including trading up for Vera-Tucker and Breece Hall in previous years.
The Jets’ focus has been on improving their offense to support their defense and protect their quarterbacks, including Zach Wilson and now Rodgers. With the addition of Smith, the Jets are looking to solidify their offensive line and give their quarterbacks the protection they need to succeed in the upcoming season. Stay tuned for more updates as the Jets continue to make moves to improve their team.
