Geno Smith and Jets are match made in desperation
NY Post
This isn’t Mark Messier returning to the Rangers after three seasons in Vancouver.
It isn’t Tom Seaver returning to the Mets for one season following six seasons in Cincinnati.
It isn’t Andy Pettitte returning to the Yankees to finish his career following three seasons in Houston.
It isn’t Darrelle Revis returning to the Jets to finish his career following two years away.

Most of the words Chris Drury said in July about defenseman Vladislav Gavrikov centered around the defensive side of the $49 million defenseman’s game. The Rangers president and general manager wanted to be better in front of their goaltenders. He wanted improved coverage in high-danger areas. And Gavrikov, inked to a seven-year deal at the start of free agency that month to pair with Adam Fox, possessed “qualities of an elite shutdown guy.”
