N.Y. Jets QB Geno Smith Signs With Jay-Z's Roc Nation Sports Agency

New York Jets rookie quarterback Geno Smith announced, on Wednesday, that he had signed with Jay Z's Roc Nation Sports Agency as his representation, according to USA Today.

Smith picked an unknown agent Kimberly Miale as his contract agent, but due to Jay-Z not being certified by the NFL Players Association, Miale won't be able to handling all of Smith's contract negotiations.

"Not that big of a role. It's just the agency," Smith said when asked if Jay-Z was a factor, though few will believe the claim after seeing an Instagram photo of the two. "When you're talking about being in New York from the standpoint of what they can do through the city, all the connections they have, I think it's a good move," Smith went on to say.

Smith went on to say that his family is cool with the move he had [picking Jay-Z's company to represent him], but his main focus is stealing that starting quarterback job away from Mark Sanchez.
