Geno Smith Says Reunion With Jets ‘Like a Movie Script’

‘They’ve got a real plan, and they’re ready to turn those things around,’ Smith said.

Quarterback Geno Smith’s return to the New York Jets is like something out of a movie. He said so himself.

Smith was traded to the Jets from the Las Vegas Raiders on March 11. The trade reunites Smith with the team that drafted him in 2013. In an interview with NFL reporter Josina Anderson on “The Exhibit Show,” Smith likened his second act with the Jets to the second act of a movie.
