Top Christopher Smith News

  • Chris Smith: Tries out with Miami

    The Dolphins worked out Smith (undisclosed) on Tuesday, David Furones of the South Florida Sun Sentinel reports.

    The Jets waived Smith from injured reserve with an injury settlement back in May, but he's evidently finally back in football shape following Week 9. He suited up for 14 total games with the Rams, the Raiders and the Jets in 2025, logging 223 snaps on special teams and three snaps on defense.

  • Chris Smith: Waived from IR

    The Jets waived Smith (undisclosed) from their injured-reserve list with an injury settlement Wednesday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.

    Smith spent only a couple days on the Jets' injured-reserve list before parting ways with the team entirely. Unless he's claimed during the current waiver period, he's on track to become an unrestricted free agent.

  • Jets' Chris Smith: Reverts to injured reserve

    Smith (undisclosed) reverted to the Jets' injured reserve Friday.

    Smith was not claimed off waivers and will now stay with the Jets on injured reserve for the 2026 season, barring an injury settlement. The free safety played 14 games last season, split between three separate teams, and is primarily a special teams contributor.

  • Chris Smith: Sent to waivers

    The Jets waived/injured Smith (undisclosed) on Thursday, per the NFL's official media site.

    Smith will revert to injured reserve Friday if he clears waivers. The 2023 fifth-round pick played 14 games among three teams last season, serving almost exclusively on special teams.

  • Jets' Chris Smith: Headed to New York

    Smith was claimed off waivers by the Jets on Wednesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

    Smith was cut loose by the Rams earlier in the week, but he has now found a new home in New York. The safety will operate as a top reserve option behind Malachi Moore against the Patriots on Sunday.

  • Rams' Chris Smith: Claimed by Rams

    The Rams claimed Smith off waivers Wednesday.

    Smith was waived by the Raiders on Tuesday but is now headed to Los Angeles, where he can contribute on both defense and special teams. The 2023 fifth-round pick recorded just three tackles (one solo) across nine games with Las Vegas but will look to make a bigger impact with his new team.

  • Raiders' Christopher Smith: Taking talents to Vegas

    The Raiders selected Smith in the fifth round of the 2023 NFL Draft, 170th overall.

    Smith emerged as a leader on the Georgia defense over the last couple of seasons and started all but one game from 2021 onward. He earned All-American honors and is a smart, instinctive player in coverage. Smith's athleticism lags behind -- he ran a 4.62 40 at 192 pounds during his combine workout -- which will be something he'll have to overcome at the next level. Again, the athletic metrics are why Smith was available this late, but the Raiders believe that everything else in Smith's repertoire can help him be an asset in the secondary. Look for him to challenge for reps at safety and nickel corner.
