Back for Round 2 in Baltimore
Smith is signing a four-year contract with the Ravens, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
The contract reportedly is for $35 million, plus another $15 million available via incentives. Smith thus returns to the team that drafted him in the fourth round back in 2015, reaching an agreement with the Ravens just two days after the Packers released him. A back injury (and subsequent surgery) limited Smith to one regular-season game and one playoff game in 2021, but prior to that he had 13.5 and 12.5 sacks in his first two seasons with the Packers. He'll turn 30 in September and is locked in as a starting outside linebacker for Baltimore.
