What happened: Smith played for Cleveland in 2023 and 2024 before finishing the latter season with Detroit. He appeared in five games for Philadelphia in 2025 before retiring in mid-October.
Why it matters: Cleveland is seeking veteran edge help ahead of the 2026 season. Jadeveon Clowney, another recent workout, signed with Houston instead.
By the numbers: Smith recorded 10.5 sacks during his two Cleveland seasons, including 5.0 in nine games in 2024.
What to watch: Watch whether Cleveland turns the workout into a contract before its preseason opener Saturday.
