The Seahawks are releasing Smith, ESPN.com reports.
Smith had signed a one-year deal with the Seahawks in April after spending the 2020 season with Dallas, where he logged 48 tackles and five sacks in 16 games. In the days following that, the defensive end -- who has been subject to NFL discipline on multiple occasions -- was arrested for an alleged second-degree battery, with his arraignment reportedly scheduled for later this month, per NFL.com. With Wednesday's move, the 31-year-old's playing status going forward is uncertain.
