The Dallas Cowboys made the decision to release linebacker Jaylon Smith yesterday, and as head coach Mike McCarthy put it, there were “multiple” reasons behind it. And now, he’s found a new home in short order.
According to multiple reports, Smith is finalizing a deal to join the Green Bay Packers:
