GREEN BAY, Wis. – The last out-of-work inside linebacker the Green Bay Packers signed couldn’t have turned out much better. If the latest one comes anywhere close to helping their defense as much as De'Vondre Campbell has, then Jaylon Smith will be a success.
The Packers came to an agreement to sign Smith on Thursday, two days after he was released by the Dallas Cowboys.
The move comes four months after the Packers signed Campbell near the end of their offseason program.
Campbell has started every game this season and has been one of the Packers’ biggest playmakers on defense with an interception, a fumble recovery and 40 tackles.
