Smith is scheduled to fly to Jersey from California and meet with the Giants early this week.

According to Star-Ledger staffer Mike Garafolo, Smith will catch up with the front office and the coaching staff, get a sense of where everything stands financially and perhaps provide an update on his medical situation. Smith doesn't have any other visits scheduled at this point. It's unclear what kind of time frame there will be for his signing or a return to the field.

GM Jerry Reese said the team has an offer out to him and stated at the start of training camp that the ball was in Smith's court. ... Also worth noting: Nobody seems to believe Smith's knee
