Jaylon Smith, a former Pro Bowl linebacker who did not play in 2024, will sign with the Las Vegas Raiders, ESPN reported on Sunday.
Smith, 29, had a tryout over the weekend at the team’s rookie minicamp. He last played in the NFL with the Raiders in 2023, appearing in one game and making two tackles in 25 defensive snaps against the New York Giants in Week 9. He was released on Nov. 22, 2023, and later signed to the Pittsburgh Steelers’ practice squad before his contract expired in January 2024.
The Dallas Cowboys selected Smith in the second round (34th overall) in the 2016 NFL Draft out of Notre Dame. He was voted to the Pro Bowl in 2019, when he made 142 tackles, 2.5 sacks, six tackles for loss and nine passes defended in 16 games.
Smith has 626 career tackles, 11 sacks, 24 tackles for loss, 18 quarterback hits, two interceptions, six forced fumbles and six fumble recoveries in 88 regular-season games (69 starts) for the Cowboys (2017-21), Green Bay Packers (2021), New York Giants (2021-22) and Raiders (2023).
