Geno Smith Got His Jaw Broken by a Teammate Over a Plane Ticket and Limo Totaling $600

Geno Smith got his jaw broken over a mere $600 that he owed teammate IK Enemkpali. Imagine that – Smith put his job and future with the Jets on the line over a mere $600. According to Brian Costello of the New York Post, Geno Smith had initially agreed to attend a charity event hosted by Enemkpali in July, but then backed out at the last minute, allegedly due to the death of a friend. Enemkpali wanted to be reimbursed for the flight and limo – about $600.

Smith didn’t pay quickly enough, the two exchanged words, and then Enemkpali slugged him.

Words led to IK throwing the punch. Geno did not retaliate and said something to the effect of "not here" and left the locker room

Both parties screwed up. Geno, you’re a millionaire. You carry $600 around in your wallet. Pay the dude. And IK, my man – chill with the temper.

Ryan Fitzpatrick is the Jets’ new starter at QB. There’s no telling if he’ll relinquish the starting job by the time Smith is eating solid food.
