Having arrived from Kansas City, new Green Bay Outside Linebackers Coach Mike Smith is more than familiar with two of the best edge rusher names available on the market this offseason.

Houston will reportedly be a cap casualty after eight quality seasons and four Pro Bowl nods with the Chiefs, who are switching to a 4-3 defense.
