DALLAS (105.3 The Fan) - Dallas Cowboys free agent pass rusher Aldon Smith is visiting the Seattle Seahawks on Wednesday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
Smith, 31, made his triumphant return to the NFL last season after missing four years due to a series of off-field issues. He started all 16 games for the Cowboys and had five sacks.
At season's end, Cowboys owner Jerry Jones said, “It’s inspirational to see a man like Aldon Smith have the comeback here that he had. ... and we want him to build on it to the benefit of the Cowboys.”
That comment caused some media outlets to report that Dallas was still trying to bring back Smith, and it's caused other outlets to suggest that the recent signing of edge-rusher Tarell Basham is the reason Smith isn't a Cowboy.
Fish says those reports are wrong, and people who know Smith are concerned about his "issues,'' not about him re-upping in Dallas (which the Cowboys will not be doing). But will Seattle take the plunge? We'll have our answer soon enough.
