Veteran linebacker Jaylon Smith, who had a four-game audition for the team at the end of the 2021 season, is returning to the New York Giants.
Smith’s agent, Doug Hendrickson, tweeted earlier Monday that Smith is re-joining the Giants.
The 27-year-old Smith was a 2017 second-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys. He played four games for Dallas last season and two with the Green Bay Packers before joining the Giants at the end of the season.
Smith started two games for New York, and played well. He had 19 tackles (one for loss), a sack and a quarterback hit.
