Za'Darius Smith Switches Sides Again | Philadelphia Eagles News

ZaDarius Smith’s latest move—ditching the Cleveland Browns for Atlanta after working out with both teams—is just another chapter in his pattern of disappearing at the last minute. From backing out of a Ravens deal to retiring after Philly, Smith’s reputation for unpredictability is well-documented. The Falcons, desperate for edge rusher depth with their top two sidelined, got lucky: Smith has a personal connection to coach Kevin Stefanski, who coached him in Cleveland. Meanwhile, Eagles fans are smiling—they’re glad he left, as their defense has only grown stronger since his departure, thanks to new signings and returning stars. Smith’s new chapter in Atlanta might make sense internally, but for Philly, it’s just more proof he’s not someone they want around long-term.
