Smoot, a member of the Jaguars since being drafted by them in the 3rd round in the 2017 draft, was previously linked to the Ravens, but eventually decided to stay in Jacksonville.

Smoot has been a consistent situational pass rusher for the Jaguars over the course of the last four seasons, having 22.5 sacks in that span (notching a consistent 5.0 to 6.0 per season), and was expected to test the market for a chance at a long-term deal. However, his poor grade as a run defender likely quashed interest in him as a starter, so he decided taking a single-year paycheck of $6.25M was his best option. He hopes to again test the market next offseason.

Cool.  He's good depth/rotational guy.  Always nice when you can retain homegrown talent too.

 

Seems a bit rich to me, but it's not a big deal.  Paying a slight premium for the limited term and commitment i guess.
