Potentially spoiling the offseason for Geno Smith, the NFL veteran quarterback became the subject of a viral video over the weekend. In the clip, a woman is heard accusing Smith of allegedly assaulting her and neglecting their special needs child.

While it’s difficult to understand what Smith says back in the video, the clip clearly shows the WVU legend arguing with a woman’s voice.

These accusations, while currently unsubstantiated beyond the claims made in the video, follow an offseason that saw Smith get traded back to the franchise that drafted him.

Days after being traded by the Raiders to the Jets, Smith discussed his mindset about being back with the franchise that drafted him and his lofty expectations about what he hopes to achieve before ending his career.

โ€œWhen I was drafted here, my goal was to play my entire career for the Jets and one day retire as a Jet,โ€ Smith told reporters. including Al Iannazzone of Newsday, about his career coming full circle.

โ€œJust to come back now and to be a part of this organization again, the organization that gave me a chance coming out of West Virginia, and really, really believed in me. Although it didnโ€™t go exactly as planned, somehow, someway, we got back here, and Iโ€™m eager to kind of make things right if I can.โ€

The Raiders sent Smith and a 2026 7th-round pick to the New York in exchange for a 2026 6th-round pick on March 10.

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.
