Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Vick signed a one-year deal with the Jets on Friday, the same day New York released former starter Mark Sanchez. The Jets hope Vick, who spent the last five seasons with the Eagles, will be able to push Smith during training camp. Vick is "going to be a guy I can work with, have a really good working relationship with and also compete with," Smith said. ... Smith threw for 12 touchdowns and 21 interceptions in his rookie season while starting all 16 games after Mark Sanchez injured his right shoulder in the preseason. It'll be interesting to see how the competition plays out.
