Michael Vick has come to his senses and decided to let Geno Smith keep the number 7. Thank everything that is holy because the Jets do not need anymore distractions in that locker room. They’re already devoid of talent; somebody’s jersey number is the very least of their issues.
TMZ Sports reports:
But Mike says, “I want to pick a new number for the Jets, Number 7 is Geno’s number.”
Sources close to Vick tell us … he has a lot of respect for the younger QB and doesn’t want any drama that could possibly divide the team and believes giving up #7 shows that he’s a mature and capable leader.
Vick says he hasn’t decided which number he’ll rock for Gang Green — but tells us, “I am open to suggestions.”
