Former San Francisco 49ers and suspended Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith may be in serious trouble again. San Francisco police confirmed via a statement on Sunday that officers responded on Saturday night in response to a report of a domestic-violence incident.
"The victim suffered nonlife-threatening injuries," read a portion of the statement. "The suspect fled the scene prior to police arrival and was identified as professional football player Aldon Smith, a 28-year-old Oakland resident."
Smith was not listed in jail reports on Sunday and San Francisco police have asked him to reach out to investigators,
according to the San Francisco Chronicle.
The incident was
first reported on Sunday morning by Ted Ramey of 107.7 The Bone.
Smith appeared to have a bright NFL future ahead of him after being selected by the 49ers with the seventh-overall pick in 2011. Since then,
he has gotten himself into trouble numerous times, including three arrests for driving under the influence, including a hit-and-run, being charged with three felony counts of possessing illegal assault weapons, and of course the incident at Los Angeles International Airport when he was arrested for making a false bomb threat.
Following his release from the 49ers in 2015, Smith caught on with the Oakland Raiders, signing a one-year deal with the team in 2015. The NFL went on to issue Smith a one-year suspension due to the hit-and-run in August of 2015 that led to his release from the 49ers.
Smith was never reinstated by the NFL.
Smith was named the NFC Defensive Player of the Year in 2012, which is the same year he made the Pro Bowl and was named first-team All-Pro. He has 47.5 career sacks.

On Wednesday, Chat Sports contributor Chase Senior reported that the Pittsburgh Steelers were "aggressively pursuing" San Francisco 49ers wide receiver Brandon Aiyuk. He further stated that the Steelers are confident they can finalize a deal for the star player.

PFF mock draft has 49ers adding cornerback with 'unique fluidity and size'
Analyst Steve Palazzolo unveiled a first-round mock draft for Pro Football Focus, attempting to forecast the selections for each NFL team within the top 32 picks. While the San Francisco 49ers concentrated on strengthening the defensive line in free agency, Palazzolo envisions the team continuing to fortify that side of the ball.
In his mock draft, Palazzolo predicts that the 49ers will select former Iowa State cornerback T.J. Tampa with the No. 31 overall pick.
"Tampa's unique fluidity and size for a cornerback make him worthy of a top-75 pick," reads the analysis from Pro Football Focus' big board. "If he can clean up his footwork, he can
Deebo Samuel and Brock Purdy are why the 49ers can afford to pay Brandon Aiyuk
It's evident that the San Francisco 49ers engaged in long-term financial planning. Much discussion has centered around the feasibility of the team committing significant financial resources to two wide receivers, Brandon Aiyuk and Deebo Samuel. Some skeptics question the wisdom of such heavy investment in a single position, especially considering that the 49ers handed Samuel a substantial three-year extension merely two years ago.
Adding complexity to this debate is the impending contract extension for quarterback Brock Purdy, positioning him to become the highest-paid player on the team. He will likely even become one of the NFL's highest-paid players. Where he ranks in average salary will depend upon whether he can replicate the stellar performance of his Pro Bowl 2023
