NFL Network's Tom Pelissero reported Kevin O'Connell and the Minnesota Vikings saw Geno Smith traded to the New York Jets on Tuesday.
The Minnesota Vikings have one fewer external quarterback option after Tuesday. Signal-caller Geno Smith, who was expected to be released and a potential free agent target for the Vikings, is off the board.
That’s because he’s heading back to the team that drafted him in a trade.
NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero reported the Las Vegas Raiders agreed to send Smith to the New York Jets in a draft pick swap.
