Eight-time Pro Bowl OT Tyron Smith is headed to the New York Jets on a one-year deal that could be worth up to $20 million, sources told ESPN.

Rich Cimini is a staff writer who covers the New York Jets and the NFL at ESPN. Rich has covered the Jets for over 30 years, joining ESPN in 2010. Rich also hosts the Flight Deck podcast. He previously was a beat writer for the New York Daily News and is a graduate of Syracuse University. You can follow him via Twitter @RichCimini.Smith will sign a one-year contract that could be worth up to $20 million with incentives, according to a source. The base value wasn't immediately available.

There's also an age factor. In Smith and Moses, the Jets have a pair of 33-year-old bookends protecting their 40-year-old quarterback. When healthy, though, Smith is an elite pass protector. He did miss three games last season, including two due to a knee injury and one when his back flared up, and hasn't played a full season since 2015.
