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.

NFL Team Claims That Geno Smith Is A "Spoiled Brat"

According to a report, the reason why many NFL teams passed up on West Virginia quarterback Geno Smith was due mostly to the fact that he acted like a "spoiled brat" before the 2013 NFL Draft.

It's unknown which team  made the claim, but a source is saying that it was a 10-top draft team who claimed that they thought Smith was a diva. Also an NFC scout went as far as to say that Smith [who was drafted in the 2nd round by the New York Jets] would have a hard time with the New York crowds. 

"He's going to have a hard time in New York," the NFC scout said. "Right now, he's coming off as a spoiled, pampered brat." 

According to an Yahoo Sports article, Smith spent most of his time on his phone calling/texting people during team meetings leading up to the draft, and when asked about his character Smith said that who he is and how he plays speaks for itself. 

Yeah... a real diva for you.

Tim Tebow Could Be Released From N.Y. Jets Soon

The New York Jets don't know what they're going to do with their quarterback situation, as now it's being reported that the Jets could keep Mark Sanchez and just simply DUMP Tim Tebow.

The rumor started making the rounds after the Jets drafted West Virginia QB Geno Smith in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft on Saturday. With the added addition of Smith, the Jets have six quarterbacks on the team.

The Jets have shown signs that they'll "keep" Sanchez [due in part to their huge investment in Sanchez].

Although we're a few days removed from the NFL draft, it's become apparent that Smith and Sanchez will be going toe-to-toe for the starting quarterback job.

The Jets [last season] never gave Tebow much of a chance at being the starting quarterback, but instead have Tebow, occasionally, on special teams or in the wildcat formation.

General manager John Idzik and head coach Rex Ryan haven't indicated what the future of the Jets QB situation will look like, including who will be traded or released from the team.
