  The Raiders waived Smith on Friday. Smith made eight appearances for the Raiders last season, totaling 43 snaps on offense and 77 on special teams. However, the 2019 sixth-round pick failed to record an offensive touch. His release made room for the signing of free-agent wideout Jordan Veasy.

• Sutton Smith: Cut before camp

  07/26/2020 • By RotoWire

  Smith was waived by Seattle on Sunday. It's something of a surprise to see Seattle cut the rookie sixth-round pick less than four months after selecting him, especially considering that he appeared to be working to provide the team with versatility both as a fullback and linebacker. In any case, the Northern Illinois will look to parlay his dual-role potential into a reserve role with another organization.

• Steelers' Sutton Smith: Pittsburgh selects in sixth round

  04/27/2019 • By RotoWire

  The Steelers selected Smith in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, 175th overall. Smith (6-foot, 233 pounds) is brutally undersized for an edge defender, but his production was exceptional at Northern Illinois and he posted strong athletic metrics that give him a margin of error to add weight without losing the burst that made him so effective as a college pass rusher. The junior entrant was incredible for the Huskies the last two years, totaling 29 sacks and 56 tackles for loss while forcing seven fumbles, recovering three and returning them for 159 yards and three touchdowns. If he can bulk up to over 240 pounds then he shouldn't lose too much of his speed (4.69-second 40) or quickness (11.07 agility score), but perhaps adding that weight is easier said than done. It's in any case a great-looking pick for Pittsburgh.
