Jets’ Geno Smith has third Davie police encounter this offseason

Geno Smith’s offseason continues to involve law enforcement after a traffic stop in Florida this past week.

Smith, who reunited with the New York Jets this year following one season with the Las Vegas Raiders, was pulled over by an officer from the Davie Police Department July 6 after being accused of traveling well over the speed limit in a 45 mph zone.

The incident was captured by police bodycam, and Smith, driving a 2025 Aston Martin, got a compliment from the officer making the traffic stop before telling him what he did wrong.

“All right, sir,” the officer told Smith in the bodycam footage. “Beautiful car. Seventy miles an hour, man. That’s too fast for 45.”

Smith was then asked to provide the officer with his license and registration, but he said he didn’t have any of it. He also noted the vehicle was registered to a friend.

“I live right here; my license and everything is in my house,” Smith told the officer.

After taking down Smith’s information, the officer told him to always have his physical ID on him, to which the quarterback replied, “My bad.”

The officer returned to Smith’s vehicle with two tickets, one for not having his license present for the traffic stop and the other for unlawful speed.

This is the third time this offseason Smith needed to speak with Davie police officers. In April, he was allegedly driving a Rolls-Royce with improper tags, and he and an officer had an exchange in yet another bodycam moment. Smith ended up telling the officer to “do your job better” despite being told that Smith’s offense was “unassigned tag to the vehicle.”

A more serious conversation with officers came when a woman claimed on Instagram in June that Smith “beat my a– cause he HATES taking care of his special needs kid and can’t be left alone with him because hed (sic) rather watch s*x online and play Call of Duty.”

The California Post and ESPN reported that cops were called to Smith’s home in Davie, but no arrests were made. The investigation has since been closed without charges being against Smith in this case, according to multiple reports.

Smith is gearing up for his 13th season in the NFL, his fifth with the Jets, after playing his first four years with the organization that took him in the second round out of West Virginia in 2013.

Smith’s first stint in New York marked a turbulent time, which included a demotion after starting his first two seasons and getting punched in the face by his Jets teammate, IK Enemkpali, during an altercation in the locker room in 2015. The punch broke his jaw and required surgery that sidelined Smith for weeks.

Smith has been a different quarterback and person since then, maturing on and off the field when given opportunities elsewhere. However, it was with Pete Carroll and the Seattle Seahawks where Smith revitalized his career, earning the starting gig in 2022 and getting the Seahawks to 9-8 that year to earn his first Pro Bowl nod.

The quarterback spent five years in Seattle before he was traded to the Raiders before last season. But after going 2-13 in his 15 starts there, the Raiders traded Smith back to the Jets.
