Let go by Seahawks
The Seahawks are releasing Smith, ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith had signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in April after spending the 2020 season with Dallas, where he logged 48 tackles and five sacks in 16 games. In the days following that, the defensive end -- who has been subject to NFL discipline on multiple occasions -- was arrested for an alleged second-degree battery, with his arraignment reportedly scheduled for later this month, per NFL.com. With Wednesday's move, the 31-year-old's playing status going forward is uncertain.

It's been over half a decade since we saw the version of Smith that was such a terror for opposition QBs in San Francisco, and he hasn't even taken a snap in the NFL since 2015. Nonetheless, the Cowboys elected to give him another chance after he got sober and worked hard to turn his life around off the field. There's no way to know what the 30-year-old will have left in the tank as a pass rusher until he sees game action again, but with DeMarcus Lawrence and Everson Griffen as the starting bookends on the defensive line, the team doesn't need him to completely turn back the clock. Smith is at least in great physical shape, and he could contribute in a depth role.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Released for off-field matter
Smith, who the Seahawks released Wednesday, was cut due to an off-field matter in which he violated the team's trust, Brady Henderson of ESPN.com reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith signed with the Seahawks in April after an impressive comeback campaign with the Cowboys in 2020, but he was arrested on a second-degree battery charge in Louisiana just two days after finalizing his deal. It's not known whether Wednesday's release stemmed directly from that incident, and to make the matter murkier, Smith had reportedly impressed Seattle's coaching staff in the team's most recent practice Tuesday.
