Connecting the dots: Jets cut No. 4 (Smith) to hire No. 4 (Favre)?

The New York Jets cut kick returner Joe Smith. His number? No. 4. Who signs him? The Green Bay Packers. Was this done by the Jets to make room for another No. 4? Like, Brett Favre? Was this the Jets' way of letting Favre know they are interested? Hmm. And, by the way, who the heck is Joe Smith? Maybe he will get cut by the Packers when Favre gets officially reinstated.
