On Friday, Za’Darius Smith faced the media for the first time since being traded from the Cleveland Browns to the Detroit Lions earlier in the week, and the 32-year-old veteran was clearly energized by being in his new home.
Smith was so eager to get to Detroit that he let a little of his anxiety out early on Tuesday morning when the trade hadn’t happened yet. He cryptically tweeted out “SMH,” in a moment he now admits was his own impatience.
“It was just taking too long. It was taking too long,” Smith said.
