Former Browns DE Chris Smith signs with the Raiders

Smith played 25 games with the Browns in 2018-19

Former Cleveland Browns defensive end Chris Smith has found a new home. Smith signed a one-year contract with the Las Vegas Raiders in hopes of rejuvenating his career.

Smith played all of the 2018 season and the nine games of 2019 with the Browns as a reserve defensive end. He had 22 tackles and one sack in limited duty, playing a little over 20 percent of available snaps.

The Browns waived Smith in December. His year was turned on its head when his girlfriend was killed in a tragic car accident on I-90 in Cleveland. Smith latched on with the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason but was quickly released.
