The New York Jets are off this weekend, enjoying their bye, but the mailbag never rests.
@richcimini Are the Jets comfortable enough with Petty to trade Geno? What would the return look like? #jetsmail
@richcimini : This question has two layers. First of all, you have to ask: Is there a market for Geno Smith? The answer is no. Unless a team suffers a crippling quarterback injury before the Nov. 3 trading deadline, the market for Smith will remain null and void. The Dallas Cowboys might have been a possibility when Tony Romo went down, but they obviously opted for Matt Cassel as their insurance policy. What I'm saying is, a team would have to be desperate to dial up the Jets and inquire about Smith.The next question is, would the Jets pull the trigger if a deal came along? I don't think so. Based on their 3-1 start, you'd have to say they will be competing for a playoff spot beyond the trading deadline. If you unload Smith and something happens to Ryan Fitzpatrick, do you really want to hand the team to Bryce Petty -- an untested rookie -- during a playoff drive? No, that wouldn't be prudent. It would be a different story if they were out of the race; then you'd want to take a look at the kid to make an evaluation for 2016.
Say what you want about Smith, but at least he's experienced and has won games in the league. Petty might have a brighter future with the Jets than Smith, but Smith remains the better player as we speak. He was having a good training camp before he got punched out by IK Enemkpali, and there was optimism around the team about his prospects for 2015. That seems like ancient history, doesn't it? The team is firmly behind Fitzpatrick and I don't think the Jets would turn to Smith unless there's an injury.I wrote this on the day of the fight: I think Smith is done in New York, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if they try to move him in the offseason. They wouldn't get much in return, maybe a sixth- or seventh-round pick, but I don't see how he fits in. In 2016, it'll be Petty as the backup and a veteran as the starter -- perhaps Fitzpatrick (a free agent) or someone else.
Bottom line : There's no reason to trade Smith during the season unless he becomes a pain in the rear, complaining about his role. From all indications, that hasn't happened.
