Florham Park, NJ – The New York Jets' quarterback competition can officially begin.
Second-round pick Geno Smith signed his contract on Monday, just three days before the full squad reports to training camp in Cortland, N.Y.
Smith is expected to compete with incumbent Mark Sanchez for the starting role this season.
