Former Seahawk Marcus Smith, once retired, reappears on NFL radar

Then, Michael Bennett was traded to the Eagles. Then, Dion Jordan suffered a knee injury on the first day of camp, and it was revealed Frank Clark was recovering from surgery of his own. And, halfway through camp, Marcus Smith retired under vague conditions.
Once thought of as a bust, Smith revived his career somewhat with Seattle during the 2017 season. Following the season, Smith was re-signed to a modest $1.425 million deal and was expected to be a part of the rotation.
