New York Jets Release Punter Joe Smith, Who Is Quickly Snatched up by Packers

The New York Jets have released back-up punter Joe Smith ,who wears jersey No. 4.  Smith was promptly signed by the Green Bay Packers, effectively ending the possibility of a Brett Favre return to Wisconsin. Struggling Jet quarterback Kellen Clemens  quickly asked both head coach Eric Mangini and then GM Mike Tannenbaum about a switch from No. 11 to his 'lucky number,' No. 4, but was denied the switch. Clemens was, however, issued a new baseball cap by QB Coach Brian Daboll. Bob Mantz can be contacted at gnxfan@hotmail.com   (link)
