Carolina was also reportedly in on the former Super Bowl MVP but he'll instead stick in Cleveland after logging the most defensive snaps (559, 52%) he's played since the 2016 season. 32 in July, Smith will remain a rotational linebacker off the bench in DC Joe Woods' dime/three-safety scheme.

Smith spent a couple games with the Jaguars in the middle of the season but never played a defensive snap with the team. The veteran linebacker provides the Cowboys with some linebacker depth while Leighton Vander Esch (neck) and Joe Thomas (ankle) nurse injuries.

Smith joined the Jaguars on Oct. 22 and did not play a defensive snap in his two games with the team. The veteran linebacker will hope to latch on elsewhere via the waiver wire or free agency.

Smith was let go by the 49ers toward the end of the preseason after recording only 35 tackles over 12 games in 2018. The 30-year-old will provide some linebacker depth for the Jaguars with Najee Goode recovering from a foot injury and D.J. Alexander (foot) moving to injured reserve.
