Saints | Jaylon Smith joining Saints Fri Aug 11, 06:33 AM
Free-agent LB Jaylon Smith (Giants) agreed to terms with the New Orleans Saints Thursday, Aug. 10, according to sources. Terms of the contract were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: The team is trying to improve their depth at linebacker behind Demario Davis and Pete Werner. They had Anthony Barr in earlier this week, but couldn't get him to sign on the dotted line. Smith could have value in IDP leagues if the 34-year-old Davis or Werner, who missed time with an ankle injury last year, go down. |
