Geno Smith can get back to focusing on football and put one of his recent legal issues behind him.

The investigation into Smith after a viral video sparked domestic violence accusations is no longer active, per the Davie Florida Police Department.

In the clip, a woman is heard accusing Smith of allegedly assaulting her and neglecting their special needs child.

While itโ€™s difficult to understand what Smith says back in the video, the clip clearly shows the WVU legend arguing with a womanโ€™s voice.

This news comes after Smith was also cited for speeding.

Smithโ€™s rough summer stretch follow an offseason that started with a trade back to the franchise that drafted him.

After resurrecting his career in Seattle with the Seahawks, a rough 2024 season led to a trade to Las Vegas and then an even rougher 2025 with the Raiders has him on the move again.

In addition to the Seahawks winning the Super Bowl with Sam Darnold, the Raiders were 2-13 with Smith under center last season. Smith threw for 3,025 yards while competing 67.4% of his passes, but only threw two more touchdowns to interceptions โ€“ 19 to 17.

Before being drafted in the second round of the 2013 NFL Draft by the Jets, Smith racked up 11,662 passing yards and 98 touchdowns across three years as the starting quarterback for WVU, including 42 passing touchdowns to just six interceptions during his senior year. He finished his career near the top of most statistical passing categories for the program, leading the Mountaineers to a trio of bowl games and an Orange Bowl win.

Smith eventually washed out of New York after two seasons as the starter, playing sparsely until 2022, when he earned the NFLโ€™s Comeback Player of the Year Award. From there, he continued having success with the Seattle Seahawks and enjoyed a career renaissance until being traded to the Raiders ahead of the 2025 season.
