The Facts: According to Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network, Smith, the former Jets and Giants quarterback, is visiting the Chargers.

Diehards Line: The Chargers need a backup for Philip Rivers, and the options are dwindling fast. The former Jets starter made one start for the Giants this year, breaking Eli Manning's consecutive games played streak (and helping get a coach and a GM fired). As PFT's Darin Gantt suggests, perhaps HC Anthony Lynn’s background during the QB's run with the Jets reminds him of the good times, and made him think Smith’s a better option if things go wrong with Rivers.
