After initially agreeing to a deal with the Ravens, DE Za’Darius Smith has decided to back out and remain a free agent, NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport reports.
On Wednesday, it was reported that Smith and Baltimore agreed on a four-year deal worth up to $50 million. According to Jeff Zrebiec of The Athletic, the Ravens believed they and Smith had a deal, but Smith changed his mind and re-entered the market.
The Packers released Smith last week to free up $27.6 million in cap space for 2022. In his first two years in Green Bay, Smith had 107 tackles and 26 sacks in 32 games.
