Cowboys free agent pass rusher Aldon Smith will visit the Seahawks today, according to NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport and Mike Garafolo (on Twitter). 
Smith, once one of the best pass-rushers in the league, hadn’t played since the 2015 season before improbably returning to the field last year with the Cowboys. He played pretty well, considering the rust, racking up 48 tackles, five sacks, and a pair of fumble recoveries. In the midst of his comeback season, the Seahawks tried to work out a trade with the Cowboys. When they declined, the Seahawks pivoted to accomplished Bengals sack artist Carlos Dunlap.
The Seahawks have made a habit of collecting highly-drafted players in the later stages of their careers. Smith — the seventh overall pick in 2011 — would fit the mold. He achieved star status early in the NFL, making first-team All-Pro in 2012 with 19.5 sacks. Unfortunately, off-the-field issues quickly derailed his career and caused him to miss games in every season to follow.
The 31-year-old (32 in September) profiles as a potential low-risk, high-reward pickup for the Seahawks. If signed, he’ll join Dunlap and newcomer Kerry Hyder in the front seven.
Hoping Pittsburgh shows some interest in him, I feel like with losing Bud Dupree even if Aldon is a situational pass rusher I think he would do good in the burgh and cheap enough to fitnwith the cap. Just unleash him after the QB.
One of Aldon’s fumble recoveries resulted in a TD. I hope he can catch on with another team.
I have a feeling Aldon won’t be leaving Seattle without a contract. Maybe wishful thinking, but PC and JS have been trying to recreate the 2013 d line depth and this signing would be it’s near equal.
Jerra the genius didn’t want to give up on him since any team with a 6-10 record would of won that division. You can’t pull the wool over Jerra he knows it all. Just ask him
Yep it is … a troll. Can’t resist making an empty “Jerra” comment. Genius.
