When the Seattle Seahawks take on the New York Jets this Sunday, it will be a reunion of sorts for quarterback Geno Smith. Smith, who spent the past three seasons with the Jets, is now the backup quarterback for the Seahawks.
Smith was originally drafted by the Jets in 2013 and spent four seasons with the team. During his time with the Jets, Smith showed flashes of brilliance, but was ultimately unable to lead the team to consistent success. He was released by the Jets in 2017 and signed with the Giants, where he spent one season before signing with the Seahawks in 2018.
Now, Smith will have a chance to face his former team as the Seahawks take on the Jets. While Smith is unlikely to see much playing time, it will be an emotional moment for him as he takes the field against his former team.
The Seahawks are currently 6-5 and in the thick of the playoff race, while the Jets are 3-8 and out of contention. While Smith won’t be able to directly affect the outcome of the game, he will be able to provide a spark off the bench if needed.
It will be an interesting matchup when the Seahawks and Jets face off this Sunday. While Smith won’t be the starter, he will have a chance to show his former team what they are missing out on. It should be an exciting game for both teams and their fans alike.
