The Falcons just pulled off a major defensive upgrade by signing veteran ZaDarius Smith to a one-year, $6M deal — a move that could transform their pass rush. Smith, 33, had even announced his retirement in October 2025, but changed his mind, leaving the Browns and other suitors scrambling. A fourth-round pick in 2015, Smith exploded with the Packers (13.5 sacks, Pro Bowl in 2019) and bounced back strong in 2024 with 16 starts. His 2023 stint with Philly was limited, but his durability and experience make him a perfect fit to bolster Atlanta’s defense and help them compete for more wins.
