Last week after Michael Vick signed with the Jets, many realized that there could be an issue with jersey no. 7. Geno Smith has been rocking it with the Jets and Michael Vick has always rocked it (from high school to Virginia Tech and on both NFL teams he’s played for). So who gets to keep the number?! It’s been worked out. Check out what happened and who will wear it…
NFL: Geno Smith Reacts to the Addition of Michael Vick to the NY Jets
It isn’t the New York Jets if there isn’t some quarterback drama spewing lately. Last season rookie quarterback Geno Smith beat out an injured and tanking Mark Sanchez for the starting spot. Now in his second year the Jets have added veteran QB Michael Vick and once again Smith is in for a battle. When asked about the acquisition however Smith was elated so if he’s nervous about losing his starting quarterback status, he’s doing a good job of hiding it… so far.

NFL: Jets Inquire About DeSean Jackson Trade, Michael Vick Wants Him in NY Too
The New York Jets made it official yesterday by releasing quarterback Mark Sanchez and signing quarterback Michael Vick. The Jets still have a need in the wide receiver department and Philadelphia Eagles WR DeSean Jackson is currently in limbo with his team so it would make sense for him to reunite with his QB Vick. It’s definitely a move the fans would welcome and so would Vick.
NFL: It’s Official! New York Jets Sign Mike Vick, Release Mark Sanchez
After weeks of speculation the deal is finally done. Michael Vick is finally a member of the New York Jets. The deal is rumored to be a 1 year contract for $5 million. At the same time the Jets released former starting quarterback Mark Sanchez before they had to pay him a roster bonus of $2 million next week. His time may have passed in NY, but I still expect Sanchez to get an opportunity to start somewhere with hopefully better offensive weapons. Signing Vick will now create an open quarterback competition in training camp between himself and Geno Smith. It also reunites Vick with his offensive coordinator from Philly, Marty Mornhinweg, who came to the Jets last season. No word about the whole #7 situation we were told earlier that Vick may make a big deal of. Things certainly just got interesting for gang green.
