C.J. Smith we hardly knew ye.
Three days after the Seahawks acquired Smith from the Cleveland Browns in a trade for a conditional seventh-round pick in 2020 it was announced Thursday that the trade is off and Smith is heading back to Cleveland.
The NFL transactions listing of the reverted trade did not reveal a reason but a source confirmed to the Times that Smith failed his physical.
Brown has played in 13 games over the past two seasons — 10 with the Eagles in 2016 and three last year with Cleveland — and it was expected he would compete for a roster spot at a position that has undergone some change this offseason with the release of Richard Sherman and Jeremy Lane and DeShawn Shead signing with Detroit.
