Jets Sign Eight-Time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith in Offensive Line Revamp

The one-year deal worth up to $20 million aims to bolster protection for quarterback Aaron Rodgers, amidst concerns over Smith's recent injury history.

Tyron Smith, an eight-time Pro Bowl offensive tackle, has agreed to a one-year deal with the New York Jets, aiming to protect quarterback Aaron Rodgers.
The deal, worth up to $20 million with incentives, marks a significant upgrade for the Jets' offensive line, which struggled last season.
Smith's signing is part of a broader effort by the Jets to rebuild their offensive line, including acquisitions of Morgan Moses and John Simpson.
Despite his impressive track record, Smith's recent injury history, including not playing a full season since 2015, raises concerns about his durability.
The Jets' offensive line overhaul comes as the team focuses on providing better protection for Aaron Rodgers, who is recovering from a season-ending Achilles tear.
