Report: Ex-Cowboys LB Jaylon Smith Signed with Packers over Panthers, WFT

Before signing with the Green Bay Packers, linebacker Jaylon Smith also reportedly had "mutual interest" with the Carolina Panthers and Washington Football Team, according to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Smith was surprisingly released by the Dallas Cowboys last week when he was into just the third year of a five-year, $64 million extension.

The 26-year-old was still in high demand around the NFL, with Carolina reportedly making a push even after adding cornerback Stephon Gilmore. Smith still decided to sign with the Packers on a one-year deal.
