Geno Smith is under investigation by authorities in Florida for an alleged assault.
One woman claimed on Instagram that the New York Jets quarterback “beat my a– because he HATE taking care of his special needs kid and can’t be alone with him because he’d rather watch s*x online and play Call of Duty.”
The California Post and ESPN reported that police were called to Smith’s home in Davie, Fla., on Sunday, but no arrests were made.

However, ESPN reported Tuesday morning and Pakinomist Digital confirmed that a review of the case warranted further investigation and that it is now an active case.

Smith backed up Russell Wilson in Seattle for two seasons and filled in quite nicely, going .500 in each of his three seasons as a starter, but the Seahawks traded him to the Raiders and signed Sam Darnold, one of several moves that helped them win the Super Bowl in February.
Smith led the NFL with 17 interceptions last year, and with the No. 1 overall pick, Smith’s stint with Vegas was understandably short-lived. But with the Jets owning the No. 2 pick in a weak quarterback class, they opted for the veteran market after Justin Fields didn’t pan out.

Jets head coach Aaron Glenn boldly claimed that Smith would “lead us to the promised land.” The Jets won just three games last season and haven’t made the postseason since 2010.
