Former Packers linebacker Za'Darius Smith said team made him feel like 'a nobody' last year

Two-time Pro Bowl linebacker Za’Darius Smith opened up about his 2021 season with the Packers and why he signed with the rival Vikings.

Smith agreed to terms with the Baltimore Ravens on a free agent deal after the Packers released him – gaining $15.7 million in salary cap room in the process – but not long after called his agent and told him he wanted to sign with the Vikings. Smith began his career with the Ravens and signed a four-year, $66 million deal with the Packers as an unrestricted free agent in 2019.

Smith attempted to practice Aug. 16 but was back in rehab the next day. He said he eventually flew to Los Angeles to have the back examined and it was determined that famed spinal surgeon Robert Watkins would repair a bulge that was pressing on a nerve.
