The Packers have just two players age 30 or older: kicker Brandon McManus (33) and linebacker Eric Wilson (30).<\/p>\n<p id=\"ASS5TCZC55B2DH24E4K4UETAHI\">The move will free up an increased role for 2023 first round pick Lukas Van Ness and 2022 fifth-round selection Kingsley Enagbare. Former Michigan star Rashan Gary anchors the Packers defensive line.<\/p>\n<p id=\"WOV2MGGSIJCWXOK7BUASA473TM\">Smith will join one of the NFL\u2019s best defenses in the Steelers, likely as a rotational player alongside star T.J. Watt and Alex Highsmith.<\/p>\n<p id=\"LU7JNKI4CNBVVLKONI6GE6XUFY\">Smith was drafted out of Mississippi State by Washington in the second round of the 2015 NFL Draft. He played in D.C. through the 2018 season before signing a four-year, $52 million contract with Green Bay in 2019.<\/p>\n<p id=\"IGL3Z67UMJFBBEMHMXAJWCN3VQ\">He has 430 total tackles, 68.5 sacks, 10 forced fumbles, 6 fumble recoveries and 2 interceptions in his career. He\u2019s also scored 2 touchdowns.<\/p>\n<section><\/section>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/article>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Green Bay has expressed a desire to get younger on both sides of the ball.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":1500,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1499","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-green-bay-packers"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.7 -
