Rex Ryan and the Bills have grabbed the player the Jets cut for sucker-punching Geno Smith

IK Enemkpali, the linebacker who was cut by the Jets on Tuesday after breaking Geno Smith's jaw with a sucker punch, was claimed Wednesday by the Buffalo Bills. NFL Network's Ian Rapoport first broke the story:

While the Bills are a division rival for the Jets, they are also home to former Jets head coach Rex Ryan, who was fired last season. Enemkpali was drafted by the Jets in 2014, during Ryan's tenure in New York, so on a certain level it's not all that surprising that Buffalo is where he landed.

The Bills and the Jets play in Week 10 and Week 17, and there is a good chance both players will be on the field for those matchups, as Smith is expected to miss six to 10 weeks.
