Former Green Bay Packers outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith has reportedly signed a three-year deal with the Minnesota Vikings, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
The deal has an average base salary of $14 million per year with up to $47 million total in incentives.
The news comes after Smith backed out of a four-year, $35 million deal with the Baltimore Ravens. According to ESPN's Jamison Hensley, the veteran "expressed second thoughts" after Von Miller and Chandler Jones received significant deals.
Miller signed a six-year, $120 million deal with the Buffalo Bills, while Jones signed a three-year, $51 million deal with the Las Vegas Raiders.
