The New York Jets made a splash in the world of American football today with the announcement of the signing of former Dallas Cowboys star left tackle Tyron Smith. Known as one of the best tackles in the game when healthy, Smith has struggled with injuries in recent years, missing more games than he’s played in the last four seasons.
However, in 2023, Smith was able to play 13 games after finding a new health regimen, marking the most games he’s played in a season since 2019. The signing of Smith brings both a high level of risk and potentially high reward for the Jets, with the key to their success in the upcoming 2024 season likely depending on his availability.
The Jets have been active in free agency, making moves to solidify both their offensive and defensive lines. In addition to Smith, the team is meeting with elite pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney and former Charger Mike Williams to address other areas of need.
Former Jets players have also been making headlines with moves to other teams, as the team looks to strengthen their roster for the upcoming season. With Smith’s addition, the Jets’ offensive line is expected to receive a significant upgrade, providing the team with more flexibility in the upcoming NFL Draft.
For further information on the Jets’ recent signings and moves in free agency, several news articles and links are available. As the team prepares for the 2024 season, all eyes will be on how Smith’s health holds up and the impact he can make on the field for the Jets.
