During Geno's one season in New York in 2017, McAdoo replaced Smith as the starter, breaking Eli Manning's Ironman streak of 210 consecutive starts.

After that tumultuous season, Smith spent a year with the Chargers as the backup to Philip Rivers. He then moved to Seattle, where he sat behind Russell Wilson for three seasons.
