Police in Davie, Florida, have closed the assault case involving Jets quarterback Geno Smith, saying the matter is now inactive.
According to the investigator’s report cited by Rich Cimini, “No further investigative steps can be reasonably taken with the information presently available.”
A police spokesperson said no charges have been filed, and any future action depends on new information or evidence. The department also said the investigation has ended and no charges are being brought.
The review stemmed from allegations that surfaced last month after a woman posted accusations against Smith on social media.
Smith, 35, entered the league as a second-round pick of the Jets in 2013 out of West Virginia. He played out the final year of his four-year, $5.019 million contract before moving on to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Giants in 2017.
He then signed with the Chargers for the 2018 season and joined the Seahawks in 2019. Smith remained in Seattle on one-year deals for the next three seasons before earning the starting job in 2022.
In March of 2023, he landed a three-year extension with the Seahawks worth $105 million. He completed the second year of that contract and had a base salary of $12.7 million fully guaranteed.
Smith was in the final year of that deal and scheduled to make a $14.8 million base salary in 2025 when Seattle traded him to the Raiders for a third-round pick. He then agreed to a new two-year, $75 million extension.
In 2025, Smith played in 15 games for the Raiders and completed 67.4 percent of his passes for 3,025 yards, 19 touchdowns, and 17 interceptions.

Seahawks Fans Wont Like Where AP Just Put Mike Macdonald
The Associated Press latest look at the NFC Wests coaching hierarchy is the kind of thing Seahawks fans will notice quickly, even if the exercise is mostly opinion. Mike Macdonald is already being measured against the standard set by Sean McVay, whose longer track record and Super Bowl title still carry a lot of weight, while Andy Reid sits at the top of the broader discussion.
For Seattle, the more immediate part of the conversation is what comes next. The Seahawks are headed toward a Week 16 meeting with the Rams on Christmas Day, a matchup that will give Macdonald another chance to show where his program stands in the division and whether the early respect around his work is starting to catch up to the names ahead of him.

Seahawks Rare Linebacker Misstep Looks Even Worse Now
Seattles decision to move on from Jordyn Brooks in 2024 already looked risky when the team chose Tyrel Dodson and Jerome Baker instead, but the linebacker picture has only gotten more uncomfortable since. Both replacements were gone by midseason, leaving the Seahawks to watch a familiar face thrive elsewhere while their own inside linebacker plans never really settled into place.
Brooks has turned his fresh start into a major rebound, and it is hard not to wonder how different this defense might have looked if Seattle had kept him in the fold. The Seahawks also had a chance to build around Ernest Jones, which would have given them a much sturdier pair in the middle, but instead the position became a reminder of how quickly a depth chart can unravel when the wrong call is made.
