Za'Darius Smith Heads to Falcons | Cleveland News

Za’Darius Smith, the veteran edge rusher who stepped away from the Eagles midseason, is reportedly working out for the Falcons — potentially reuniting with his old coach Kevin Stefanski. If he signs in Atlanta, it’s a major blow to the Browns’ defensive plans, as they were counting on him to bolster their pass rush after missing out on A.J. Epenesa and losing Jadeveon Clowney. With key players like James Pearce Jr. suspended and Jalon Walker injured, the Falcons could use Smith’s experience. Meanwhile, Cleveland’s search for an edge rusher continues, with Jared Verse hoping to learn from a proven vet — but without Smith, they’ll need to find another solution fast.
