In a surprise move, the Dallas Cowboys released starting linebacker Jaylon Smith. The Notre Dame product was selected by Dallas with the 34th overall pick in the second round of the 2017 NFL draft and has played in all 68 Cowboys games since, starting 56 of those.
The #Cowboys are moving on from LB Jaylon Smith, as @AdamSchefter reported. The move isn’t official until tomorrow afternoon, so there’s still the possibility of a trade, though that doesn’t seem very likely.

Smith is a tantalizing name who has fanbases across the league clamoring for his services.
