Jets Trade Wayne Hunter
The New York Jets have decided to trade
recently benched, and struggling right tackle to the St. Louis Rams
for former 1st round pick tackle Jason Smith.
Wayne Hunter was benched a couple days
before the Carolina game for Austin Howard who certainly played
better than Hunter in the starting spot. Hunter also allowed a sack
with the back up unit in the 4th quarter of the Carolina
game.
Jason Smith has also like Hunter seen
his struggles as the former 2nd overall pick in the 2009
draft was benched by the Rams. Smith has battled poor play and
injuries with a few concussions, and the Rams felt it was time to
move on. Smith has played in 29 games with 26 starts in his three
seasons with the Rams.
The starting right tackle spot should
be safe for Austin Howard after the Carolina game, but a trade for
Smith will provide some depth to right tackle spot in case Howard
struggles moving forward. Jets fans will be happy to see Hunter gone
after his poor play last season, and this preseason.
