New York Jets attempted to sign now-Packers edge Za’Darius Smith (Report)

The New York Jets found themselves on the outside looking in pertaining to the NFL free agency edge market. It appears, however, that it wasn’t by choice.

Not only did Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr snub their affection, but Za’Darius Smith chose the Green Bay Packers ridiculous contract offer in favor of New York’s.

Peter Bukowski of SB Nation let the football world in on Smith’s words while on Ian Rapoport’s Podcast.

On @RapSheet's podcast, Za'Darius Smith said it was the #Packers and #Jets bidding back and forth for him.
