Za'Darius Smith Back in NFC North

ZaDarius Smith, a three-time Pro Bowler and former Green Bay Packers star, has been released from the reserve/retired list, making him a free agent once again. After retiring last season, Smith’s fiery past comments — including his “revenge” wins over the Packers with the Vikings and Lions — suggest he’s itching to return to the NFL, especially in the NFC North where he’s already battled rivals. With the Vikings needing edge rusher depth and the Lions still having room for veteran pass rushers, both teams are prime landing spots. Plus, his agent’s ties to Kyler Murray’s camp could give the Vikings an edge. Smith’s competitive fire and history with Green Bay make a return to the division not just likely — but almost inevitable. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
