The move is a risky one in considering Smith’s injury history.  Having missed over 35 games over his past four seasons, Smith joins a team that used 14 different linemen and 11 different combinations up front last season.

So while this may not be the last move for the Jets at left tackle this off-season, it is the biggest thus far.
