Smith, a 2013 second‑round pick, noted his two‑year start with the Jets ended in 34 interceptions and a jaw‑breaking locker‑room incident. After stints with the Seahawks and Raiders, the offseason trade gave him a fresh start in New York, a chance he likened to a superhero film.

Nick Bosa on temporary use of grass for World Cup is "a little bizarre, but what can you expect?"
With the World Cup coming soon, multiple NFL stadiums have torn up their artificial turf and installed high-quality, FIFA-compliant grass pitches. Then, after the tournament ends, the grass will be removed and replaced with artificial turf again.
49ers defensive end Nick Bosa, whose team will play five 2026 games at stadiums that perform the turf to grass back to turf transformation, was asked about the decision to switch the surfaces at those venues to grass before putting the fake stuff back in.
"Yeah, it's a little bizarre," Bosa said, "but what can you expect?"
That says it all. It's all about money. It's cheaper to have turf for NFL games. And it's expensive, but necessary, to install grass in order to make the extra money that comes from hosting World Cup games.
The 49ers will play this year at Seattle (Week 5), at Atlanta (Week 7), at Dallas (Week 10), at the Giants (Week 13), and at the Chargers (Week 15). All five stadiums will have grass for the summer before returning to artificial turf.
In 2020, Bosa suffered a torn ACL on artificial turf at MetLife Stadium. (He tore the ACL in the other knee on grass in 2025.) And while the fact that he has torn an ACL on each surface will prompt some to say there's no difference, the difference between playing on grass and fake grass is obvious to anyone who does it — which is why 92 percent of players prefer grass.
Puka Nacua: I haven't really thought about playing 2026 without a contract extension
Rams wide receiver Puka Nacua's trip to rehab was his major offseason storyline and he discussed that decision during a press conference from the team's OTAs on Thursday.
If the need for Nacua to seek help had not developed, the main story of his offseason almost certainly would have been his contract. Nacua is in the final year of his rookie deal and his play over the last three seasons put him in line for a deal that would be at the top of the list for players at the position.
On Wednesday, Nacua was asked if he's comfortable playing out the year without agreeing to a contract extension with the NFC West club.
"I haven’t really thought about it," Nacua said. "I enjoy playing football. It’s the biggest dream come true. To be able to be out here and play for this organization specifically has been awesome. I couldn’t imagine myself anywhere else. It’s been fun to be out here and be around these guys. Like I said, I’ll let all those things handle themselves."
Seahawks wideout Jaxon Smith-Njigba currently sits atop the receiver pay scale after signing an extension this offseason. Whether Nacua joins him with a new deal in the near future will likely hinge on how much the off-field issues of this offseason have impacted the Rams' view of Nacua's future with the team.
