The Raiders shocked the NFL Friday morning when they signed troubled former 49ers defensive end Aldon Smith to a one-year contract worth up to $8 million after roster incentives with a base salary plus signing bonus of $1.5 million. So, what can we expect from Smith with the Raiders?
The 49ers released the former first round pick on August 7th after he was arrested on charges of a hit and run, driving under the influence, and vandalism. The arrest was Smith's fifth in his four-year NFL career.
Within minutes of the Raiders announcing the signing, the Santa Clara DA officially filed all three misdemeanor charges against Smith for his most recent arrest.
