The New York Jets are reportedly expected to sign eight-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Tyron Smith after he spent 12 seasons with the Dallas Cowboys.
If Aaron Rodgers isn't running for vice president, it seems he'll have a solid offensive line in front of him. The New York Jets are reportedly prepared to make a huge splash by signing eight-time Pro Bowl offensive lineman Tyron Smith, 33. The longtime Dallas Cowboy was a second-team All-Pro selection last season.
Earlier this week, the Jets acquired Morgan Moses to beef up their offensive line. Smith will now protect Rodgers' blindside, alongside Moses and Alijah Vera-Tucker. Smith made the Pro Bowl in each season from 2013 to 2019 and in 2021, living up to his hype as the ninth overall pick in the 2011 NFL Draft. The Jets acquired Rodgers last year in hopes of making the playoffs for the first time since 2010.
However, Rodgers ruptured his Achilles on just his fourth snap of the season, ending the Jets' playoff hopes. Despite lots of drama surrounding the Jets — especially where Rodgers is concerned — the four-time MVP does figure to be healthy at the start of the season. He nearly returned in 2023 and probably would have if the Jets were in playoff contention. SNY noted Smith's market 'didn't come together as expected,' so general manager Joe Douglas 'pounced.
So, it makes sense the Jets would want to protect their quarterback with a better offensive line. Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
