According to multiple reports, finances were the key factor in letting Smith walk. The former 2016 second-round pick is guaranteed to earn $7.2 million this season, but the Cowboys would have been on the hook for another $9.2 million if he were to suffer a significant injury.
Smith had 516 career tackles, nine sacks and six forced fumbles in 68 career games with the Cowboys.
