What we’re scoring
Do not replace a backup-quarterback claim with the broader March no-QBs-available claim. Geno Smith was not an incumbent backup in the named group. A review date is not an invented no-trade expiration.
The ruling
The Jets later traded Justin Fields, but the source specifically argues about inexpensive incumbent backups and names Brissett, McKee and Jones. The relevant player population and trade window need a ruling before using any quarterback trade as a counterexample.
