The Jets have re-signed WR Vyncint Smith.

Smith (6-3, 202), who was set to become a restricted free agent March 17, played in seven games for the Jets last season. He underwent core-muscle surgery in August and was placed on injured reserve to start the season. He took 50 snaps on offense in addition to 45 special teams snaps and had 1 catch for 13 yards. Smith originally signed with the Texans as an undrafted free agent out of Limestone in 2018 and joined the Green & White in Sept. 2019 when GM Joe Douglas signed him off Houston's practice squad. Smith has 23 receptions, 329 yards and 1 TD in 27 career games (5 starts). He also has three rushes for 52 yards and one score. Over the course of two seasons with the Jets, he's returned 12 kicks averaged 26.8 yards per return.

I believe it's a 2 year deal and not a futures contract which would mean likely that he is expected to make the roster. He was a decent return guy for us and has good speed as a receiver when healthy.

Restricted free agent Vyncint Smith re-signed with the Jets, the team announced Saturday. The sides came to an agreement on a heavily incentivized one-year deal with some guaranteed money.

Had Smith not re-signed by Wednesday, he would’ve been able to sign elsewhere, with the Jets maintaining the right to match the contract only if they first tendered him a one-year deal worth about $2.1 million. Rather than go down that path, they came up with the deal announced Saturday.

We really need upgrades at WR. Smith is a decent ST guy with good speed.

Every team needs someone from Limestone.
Glad he's back, a useful player.

I thought he did a pretty solid job 2 years ago but last season was disappointing to say the least .
