Raiders sign Aldon Smith to one-year deal

Former 49ers’ All-Pro outside linebacker Aldon Smith has signed a one-year deal with the Oakland Raiders, according to Jason Cole.

The Niners released Smith on August 7 after he was charged with hit and run, DUI and vandalism. Smith allegedly hit a parked car and left without leaving a note. And when he finally returned, he was intoxicated.

The NFL has not yet decided whether to suspend Smith. For now, he is eligible to play Week 1 for the Raiders.

Do you think the Niners made a mistake? Should they have kept Smith, or did they do the right thing cutting him?
