The Jets finally seem to have understood that protecting Aaron Rodgers is essential. According to ESPN, the New York franchise has agreed with Tyron Smith for a one-year contract. The amount could go up to $20 million.
After 13 seasons with the Cowboys, he was released by Dallas. Smith therefore changes his jersey for the first time at 33 years old. He joins a team that inevitably wants to be ambitious since the signing of its quadruple MVP quarterback in 2023.
Five-time All Pro, most recently in 2023, Tyron Smith is still a reference in his left tackle position. His addition to a cataclysmic offensive line for several seasons is a significant reinforcement. A welcome help on the blind side of Rodgers returning this season after a blank campaign in 2023.
