Smith was among a group of free agents who tried out for the Ravens on Monday.

Smith, 29, is a former fifth-round pick of the Jaguars back in 2014. He, unfortunately, lasted just a few months before he was waived a few weeks into the regular season. Jacksonville later added him to their practice squad before eventually calling him up later on in the year.

Jacksonville traded Smith to the Bengals in 2017 in exchange for a conditional seventh-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft. After playing out his rookie contract, Smith signed a three-year, $14 million deal with the Browns in free agency in 2018. 

Smith was released by Cleveland and eventually had a brief stint with the Panthers before catching on with the Raiders. 

In 2020, Smith appeared in eight games for the Raiders and recorded five tackles and a sack.
