Former Raiders cornerback Sean Smith is slated to be released from jail in September, according to TMZ. Smith has served less than half of his year-long sentence, but he is on track to be let go next month due to good behavior and overcrowding in the facility. 
Smith was sentenced to one year in jail plus five years probation after pleading guilty to felony assault. The incident took place last summer, when a dispute between the cornerback and his sister’s boyfriend turned violent. The victim suffered several major injuries in the attack, and Smith was subsequently released by the Raiders.
Smith lost out on the money he was owed on his four-year, $40MM deal, and it stands to reason that he may attempt an NFL return in order to make up for the lost cash. If that’s the case, he’ll almost certainly have to serve a suspension first, and it could be lengthy given the nature of his situation.
The veteran graded out as just the No. 73 cornerback among 121 qualifiers last year, per Pro Football Focus. He’s picked off two passes in each of the last three seasons, but had a career-low four pass defenses last year while appearing in 14 games, starting eight.
I’m not trying to be controversial, but isn’t jail time suspension enough?
You’re both boneheads
Another day another thug. The heck with the jail time .. isn’t the loss of 40 million for being a bonehead enough.
wasn’t his sister’s boyfriend abusive towards her? if so, while not legally jutsifiable, definitely morally justifiable
I found the racist.
It’s not all about race .. there are white, black, Hispanic thugs .. I would say the same thing about Ryan Leaf
