Denver re-signed him to a futures deal after the 2024 and 2025 seasons and he was signed to the Jets’ active roster after being on the Broncos’ practice squad.
The Falcons claimed Smith off waivers from the Jets in August but let him go during final roster cuts.
In 2025, Smith appeared in three games for the Jets and recorded 15 total tackles.
