Brad Smith: Working out with fellow Jets is “awkward”



Jets quarterback Mark Sanchez has organized several throwing sessions with his teammates during the lockout, but he doesn’t know if they’ll be his teammates after the lockout. And one of those teammates, for now anyway, says that makes things difficult.
Jets (for now) receiver and return man Brad Smith says that for the three receivers who will become free agents — himself, Santonio Holmes and Braylon Edwards — it’s weird to be catching passes from Sanchez now without knowing whether they’ll be catching passes from Sanchez when the season starts.
“It was a little awkward, to be honest,” Smith told Pro Football Weekly. “Most of the guys are under contract, then you have Holmes, Braylon and I. We worked hard, but you just don’t know.”
Smith says he’d still like to be a Jet, but he’s also going to do what’s best for himself “in the interest of business.” Which probably means he’ll be catching passes from a quarterback other than Sanchez when the player-organized workouts are over and training camps begin.
