Vikings hosting ex-Packers edge rusher Za'Darius Smith on free-agent visit

A former Packers pass rusher is visiting the Vikings on Monday.

Za'Darius Smith, who was released by Green Bay last week in a cost-cutting move, is continuing his free-agent tour with a visit to TCO Performance Center, which he documented in his Instagram story.

Smith, 29, has interest from the Chiefs and Cowboys, a league source said. He seemingly has options after reportedly backing out of a verbal agreement last week with the Ravens, where he started his NFL career as a 2015 fourth-round pick. He was drafted one round after the Vikings selected Danielle Hunter, with whom Smith would pair to create a potent pass rush should the Vikings eventually sign him.
