Report: Antonio Smith Visiting The Raiders Friday

Update:

Ian Rapoport reports that Texans free agent DL Antonio Smith is visiting the Raiders on Friday.

We’ve already heard a number of teams linked to Smith, however, there hasn’t been a lot of buzz regarding him recent days.

He’s visited with the Redskins, and reportedly has interest from the Falcons, Titans, Panthers, and Buccaneers.

Smith, 32, totaled 30 tackles, five sacks and a forced fumble over the course of 15 games for the Texans last year.

Pro Football Focus had him rated as the No. 36 defensive end in a 3-4 system last season. We have him listed as the No. 37 player in our Top 50 Free Agents list.
