4/28/25 | Za'Darius Smith predicted to ditch Lions reunion for deal with AFC contender. The Detroit Lions failed to adequately address the edge rusher position during the 2025 NFL Draft, which has led to renewed hope that the team could bring back Za'Darius Smith, who was cut by the Lions earlier this offseason.
