What does Geno Smith say about his future in the NFL?
Jets, specifically Jerry talking about the stuff from Geno Smith yesterday, making the rounds media-wise. First, a hit on ESPN, talking about, of course, being back with Gang Green.
You know, not many get the chance to go back to where they started. What's a good ending for you in your return to New York with the fan base, with the organization? What's a good ending?
Well, hopefully the inning isn't coming soon. I've got a lot of years to play, and I'm looking forward to, again, just getting back into the building, starting at day one, and building this thing from the ground up, brick by brick.
There you go. Very seasoned answer. That's a man that's dealt with a lot of media questions now across a long time.
How does Geno feel about returning to the Jets?
And he said multiple times, like, he's got a lot of football left in him at 35.
Yeah, well, I mean, we hear the age, but obviously there were years where he was, you know, on the bench, not playing full seasons.
Age is just a number, CeeLo. You're not 40, you're 26.
There you go. That's what we're talking about. He also did the media call with the Jets beat, and this experience of being back in Florham Park a bit already is basically kind of like going back into an old school.
Oh, man, it was so special. It really felt like just, you know, all those memories just kind of rushed back into my head just the first time I walked into that building, and You know, really, it looks so much the same. And, I mean, like I was back where I belong, man. It felt special.
He did talk about some of the upgrades they've made specifically to the locker room. But it is a great facility, as Willie would know better than anybody. So he's excited to be back there.
Not to be a jackass, but did anybody ask him about the incident with IK or no?
I haven't heard the full conference call. They may have. I just wondered. If I come across that.
Jerry, it is a fair question. Do you think he needs to address it? Just kind of say, hey, man. I get annoyed with it because I feel like, man, one incident shouldn't. And we talk about this all the time, flippantly. I don't think one incident should be. Should define you. Correct. So is this an opportunity for him? Like, hey, let's just get it out the way. I learned from him. I'm better from it. I shouldn't have said X, Y, Z. It was unfortunate. My jaw paid the price. I just think kind of jumping out ahead of it. almost voluntarily, it kind of puts it to bed.
Yeah, I mean, I think you could do that, and that's why I was wondering. I didn't see the full quotes of the conference call with the reporter, so it would be interesting, though, if he joked around with it and kind of closed, you know, in a serious way, but kind of joked about it a little bit. You could kind of close that chapter just because you're right. You feel like any time you hear about Geno and the Jets, you think of that, and he would have to be the one to put an end to it and then move on. So, yeah, you're probably right. about that.
I remembered Rich Cimini writing a piece about it around the five-year anniversary. I'm trying to look back quickly to see if Gino gave any quotes in that piece. I know IK did. I don't think Gino did, if I'm not mistaken. I'm scrolling through it real quick. Rex Ryan's in there. Brandon Marshall's in there. Who else? Trevor Riley, you remember Trevor Riley? Yeah. He was a Jet Pick linebacker. So I don't know. I don't know that he's ever really talked at length about it unless there's something I'm missing or not remembering. But I'll look for it, Jerry, and see if that wasn't addressed yesterday. What did he think when he first got wind that all of this might be happening?
First of all, I was just honored, really, for Coach Glenn and everyone over there to even consider me. Obviously, there's history being drafted by the Jets. But the first initial thought was just, man, what an honor to be considered to be be the quarterback of the Jets again and to walk back into that building.
And how about this too, Willie? The fact that I believe the Raiders are paying most of his salary and the Jets are only paying a little bit.
