Geno Smith fire rep after fall to Jets

Thursday, as we've chronicled numerous times, wasn't the best day of Geno Smith's life. He spent all night on camera, not getting drafted, and probably was more than a little flustered that he was on camera, not getting drafted.

As such, he's decided to part ways with his agent. CBSSports.com's Bruce Feldman reports that Geno informed his agents "late last night" that he was moving on.

It shouldn't be entirely shocking to see Smith change representation.

The quarterback, presumably, was advised to attend the 2013 NFL Draft and accept the invitation from the NFL to sit in the green room during Round 1 of the draft on Thursday.

No one thought he'd actually spend the entire night in the green room and not end up with a team; the worst-case scenario involved someone trading back into the first round to grab him.

But when the Jets decided to pass on Smith at No. 13 and the Bills decided to take E.J. Manuel with the No. 16 pick, Smith's freefall began and he wasn't chosen until the Jets grabbed him in the second round at No. 39 overall.

It's possible, as Feldman noted on Twitter Tuesday, that Smith wants to link up with Joel Segal, who also represents former West Virginia teammate (and highly-coveted wide receiver/No. 8 overall pick) Tavon Austin.

Of course, maybe it's heightened expectations that doomed Smith:

sure, blame your rep ..... pussy

Sounds like Bray.

Agent is the one getting the advice and talking to the teams. It makes perfect sense to fire the agent. You fall from potentially #1 when a left tackle from Central Michigan takes your money to the second round. Damn straight changes are a coming.

I'd rather call Lizzie McGuire...

I like Patti McGwire....

Good decision.

Pouting...again.

Really liking the fact, that we didn't draft him. Doesn't seem to have the makeup you want in an NFL QB.

How is it pouting? His rep informed him NOT to participate in the Senior Bowl. That obviously backfired and aided in his drop.

Its one thing to change agents but I would have at least done it as privately as possible. This makes it look like he is trying to shift blame, not a good sign.

But he didn't need to. He had NOTHING to prove.

/Genobators

I wish Albert would fire his agent.

:spock: Because he switched agents?

WTF are you talking about? How is he not doing it as privately as possible? And how does it look like he's shifting blame?

Man, some of you guys are reaching.
