Chiefs' Alex Smith the perfect fit for Jets, says Boomer Esiason

LITTLE FALLS -- The Jets aren't going into next season with just Bryce Petty and Christian Hackenberg at quarterback. They're going to add a veteran to the mix. Potentially, a proven starter.

Former NFL signal caller and current WFAN host Boomer Esiason has an idea who the guy should be. Even if it's not the sexy pick.

Kansas City's Alex Smith.

"I know that's not going to excite anybody," Esiason told NJ Advance Media Friday before a charity hockey game at Montclair State University. The game raised money for the New Jersey Golf Foundation and Boomer Esiason Foundation, which supports cystic fibrosis research and treatment.
