According to Mehta, Jets coach Rex Ryan also wanted to move forward with Vick, but chose to placate management as his six-year tenure with the team comes to a likely close.
“I think the best thing for this team right now is to play Geno Smith,” Ryan said during a Wednesday conference call. “Does he give you a good chance to win? Or a chance to win? I believe he does give us a chance to win.”
