Predicted this yesterday and I like it! Hopefully, they didn't have to break the bank to get him.

Sweet! Interested to see the numbers.

Perry likely gone. He and Smith play the same role in the defense.

I kept thinking that if newly acquired former Ravens scout Milt Hendrickson liked Smith, the Packers would go after him. Apparently, Hendrickson really likes Smith!

I guess I'll wait for specific numbers and structure, but that seems like a lot. I wonder what Amos' numbers will look like considering what others got yesterday. We may have blown more than our load LOL

Some info on Smith:

A fourth-round pick of the Ravens in 2015, Smith produced a breakout season in 2018, tallying 8.5 sacks, 25 quarterback hits and 10 tackles for losses over 16 games in Baltimore.

According to Pro Football Focus, Smith’s 60 total pressures were the 17th most among edge defenders in the NFL in 2018. He finished with the 16th best pass-rushing grade at the position.

Saw that all the Packers edge rushers had 53 pressures through week 11 or something.

I mean...what were you all expecting?

CJ Mosley just got 17, Kwon Alexander got 13.5, Landon Collins got 14.

16 isn't a great number if true (LaCanfora is crap), but it isn't surprising at all. We weren't going to get him for 10 a year. What really matters is guaranteed $$$.
