ZaDarius Smith 29 accumulated 26 sacks in his first two seasons with the Packers before an injury-riddled 2021 campaign.

. How soon the Green Bay Packers pass rusher is back in the gameday lineup and what his role will look like if he is out there for the teams NFC Divisional playoff game next week is uncertain. GREEN BAY ZaDarius Smith was back on the practice field on Wednesday. Even to head coach Matt LaFleur.

The Packers would gain 1575 million in cap relief if they cut him. Several sources tell me Smith would be one of the most sought-after pass rushers in free agency and could come away with the richest. The calculus may be different for the Packers if Smith was coming off his third dominant season in a row as a pass-rusher but the cold hard reality is thats not the case.

Smith is entering the final year of a four-year deal and carries a 277 million cap number in 2022. For as good as Smith was in his first two seasons in. He played just one regular-season game before returning for Green Bays.

ZaDarius Smiths contract contains a huge cap hit.
