The Facts: All has been quiet on the Smith free-agency front so far. Given his injury situation after suffering cartilage damage in his knee late last year, the wide receiver hasn't signed or gone on any visits. Until now. And the first stop will be a familiar one. Smith is scheduled to fly to Jersey from California and meet with the Giants early this week.

Diehards Line: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. The single-season franchise leader in receptions with 107 in 2009, Smith has been a valuable asset for the Giants and the team would obviously like to retain his services. 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 will be far enough along for him to be ready for Week 1.
