Returns to Las Vegas
Smith agreed to sign a contract with the Raiders on Sunday, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith participated on a tryout basis with Vegas during rookie minicamp this weekend as he looks to restart his career. The linebacker, who turns 30 years old in June, briefly spent time with the Raiders in 2023 and played in one game before he was released in November of that season. He then went unsigned throughout the 2024 campaign. Smith previously played for Raiders defensive coordinator Patrick Graham when he held the same role in 2021, tallying 88 tackles across 13 games. He'll likely need to carve out a role as a depth player at inside linebacker in order to secure a spot with Las Vegas this offseason.

If Smith's role remains the same as it has the last two years then move him up the rankings. The question is whether that role is truly safe, especially in light of Dallas drafting linebacker mega-prospect Micah Parsons with the 12th overall pick this year. Parsons is a threat to take up a bigger share of the defense than the retired Sean Lee did, and that's before you account for how free-agent pickup Keanu Neal fits in at linebacker. If Parsons and Neal stay to the side, though, then Smith is still the same guy who produced 296 tackles the last two years.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Likely to be active in Week 17
Smith joined the Steelers' practice squad Tuesday but will likely be added to the active roster in Week 17, Josina Anderson of CBS Sports reports.
ANALYSIS
Smith has appeared in one game this season for Las Vegas back in Week 9. He logged 25 defensive snaps and tallied two tackles, but he could be in line for a more significant role with the Steelers. Pittsburgh has lost a number of inside linebackers this season, most recently Elandon Roberts to a pectoral injury, leaving the team with only four healthy players at the position.
