Former Eagles First-Round Pick Marcus Smith Leaning Towards Retirement

Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports that former Eagles first-round DE Marcus Smith is leaning towards retirement and is not fully committed to playing in 2018.

This comes just a few days after the Seahawks released him.

Smith, 26, is a former first-round pick of the Eagles back in 2014. The Eagles declined to pick up his fifth-year option last year and eventually cut him loose during the summer.

Smith signed a one-year contract with the Seahawks soon after and finished out the year in Seattle. He re-signed with the Seahawks this past offseason to a one-year contract worth up to $2.7 million.

In 2017, Smith appeared in 14 games for the Seahawks and recorded 15 tackles, 2.5 sacks, two forced fumbles and a pass defense.
