Police in Davie, Florida have closed the assault case involving Jets quarterback Geno Smith, with the department now treating it as inactive.
According to Zack Rosenblatt, the Davie Police Department said the matter is no longer active. Rich Cimini reported that the investigator’s report said, “No further investigative steps can be reasonably taken with the information presently available.”
A police spokesperson also said no charges have been filed, and that any future action depends on new information or evidence. In other words, the investigation has run its course for now, and nothing further is moving forward unless something new comes to light.
The case stemmed from allegations made last month, when 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 season of his four-year, $5.019 million contract before moving on to a one-year, $2 million deal with the Giants in 2017.
From there, Smith signed with the Chargers for 2018 and then joined the Seahawks in 2019. He stayed on one-year deals for each of the next three seasons before earning the starting job in 2022.
In March of 2023, Smith landed a three-year extension with Seattle worth $105 million. He completed the second year of that contract and had a fully guaranteed base salary of $12.7 million.
He 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. Smith 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.

Which West Virginia Natives Are Truly Ready To Help WVU Now
The latest look at West Virginias in-state talent is less about hype and more about sorting out who can help right away. The Mountaineers have a few natives who already look positioned to factor into the rotation, while others are still working through the kind of development that usually comes before real game-day responsibility. It is the kind of preseason evaluation that matters in Morgantown, where local players often carry extra weight and the staff wants to know which ones are ready for meaningful snaps now.
Among the group, there are clear signs of different timelines. Some players are pushing for roles in crowded position rooms, while others appear better suited to grow into larger jobs as the season unfolds. Special teams also remain part of the picture, with competition still unsettled in a few key spots. The bigger question is which of these West Virginia natives can turn promise into production soon enough to matter this fall, and which ones are still a step away from becoming true contributors.

Phil Steele Just Made A Massive Statement About WVUs RB Room
West Virginias running back room has been one of the quieter areas of roster turnover this offseason, but it has quickly become one of the most interesting. The additions of Cam Cook, the nations leading rusher, JUCO back Martavious Boswell and a freshman class that includes Amari Latimer have given the Mountaineers a group with a very different look, and the staff is clearly expecting that mix of experience and upside to matter once the season starts.
Phil Steeles latest read on the position only adds to the buzz, with the Mountaineers backfield drawing top billing in the Big 12 alongside Texas Tech. The praise comes with a familiar caveat for a room this new: the talent is obvious, but the real question is how quickly all of those pieces settle in, and whether every freshman the staff expects to have in camp is actually there when summer work continues.

WVU Faces One Defining Question As Rebuild Expectations Start Rising
West Virginias rebuild is starting to draw a little more attention, and for good reason. There are enough pieces in place to make the season feel open-ended, with Mike Hawkins Jr. at quarterback and Cam Cook giving the offense a real foundation to lean on. If those two settle in quickly, the Mountaineers have a path to something more than just survival, and the conversation around the program could shift faster than expected.
The catch is that this still looks like a team with a wide range of outcomes, and the margin for error is not especially friendly. A bowl game would count as a solid step forward in a year built around growth, while a stronger finish could push the ceiling into the kind of season that changes how the rebuild is viewed. But the back half of the schedule is where the test really begins, and that is where West Virginia will find out whether rising expectations are justified or just a little ahead of schedule.
