Overview
- Smith opened the first veterans' news conference at training camp and said he regretted that offseason incidents could have been a distraction and that he wants to move forward with the team.
- The Davie, Florida police department declared its investigation inactive earlier this month and will not charge Smith after officers cited a lack of witnesses, corroborating footage and follow‑up statements.
- Police records show Smith had multiple traffic encounters in Davie during the offseason that led to two citations and roughly $400 in fines for improper tags, failure to produce a license and a speeding stop.
- Smith met privately with coach Aaron Glenn, general manager Darren Mougey and veteran leaders, who have publicly expressed support for him and said the team is focused on training camp.
- The local probe can be reopened if new evidence or sworn statements surface and the NFL has been notified and could pursue its own review under the league’s personal conduct policy, which would keep public scrutiny on Smith as he tries to stabilize the Jets' quarterback position.
