The Cleveland Browns acquired pass-rusher Za'Darius Smith from the Minnesota Vikings on Friday, according to NFL Network's Tom Pelissero. The Vikings traded away Smith along with sixth- and seventh-round picks in the 2025 draft while receiving fifth-round picks in 2024 and 2025 from the Browns.
Smith, 30, spent only one season in Minnesota after joining the team in free agency last offseason on a three-year, $42 million deal. He was owed $9.4 million in guarantees next season and $5 million the following year.
He restructured his deal after being traded, however, according to NFL Network's Ian Rapoport.
