Suspended Oakland Raiders linebacker Aldon Smith has requested a reduction in his child-support payments because he has not had any income since he was originally banned following his third DUI arrest in 2015.
Smith, 28, is $79,000 behind in payments, according to TMZ. He has forfeited $4.7 million in lost game checks due to suspensions over his brief career, according to Spotrac.com.

Smith did file for reinstatement in October of 2016 but has not been cleared by the league to return and there is no timetable for a decision by the NFL.
He previously reached a deal with prosecutors following his 2015 DUI report, according to TMZ, pleading no contest to hit-and-run charges. Smith was sentenced to 20 days in jail and another 90 days of probation in a residential treatment facility. He was also ordered to take anger-management courses.
