New York Jets restricted free agent safety Eric Smith signed his one-year, $1.176 million tender today, the team announced.
Smith is slated to compete with Brodney Pool and James Ihedigbo for a starting job in the wake of Kerry Rhodes being traded to the Arizona Cardinals.
Smith is regarded as a hard hitter. He once broke Anquan Boldin's face in several places with a helmet-to-helmet hit.
The Jets assigned the low tender to Smith, a former third-round draft pick.
Smith didn't apparently receive any interest from other teams as far as offer sheets.
