Lions Fans React to Za’Darius Smith’s Release
The Detroit Lions’ decision to release Za’Darius Smith was expected due to his contract situation, but some fans didn’t hold back in their reactions.
Smith, acquired from the Cleveland Browns midseason, provided a boost to the Lions’ pass rush, but with Aidan Hutchinson returning and Marcus Davenport re-signed, the team opted to clear $5.7 million in cap space by moving on.
Some fans were ruthless about Smith’s exit, with comments suggesting he might end up on another rival team or continue his “revenge tour” after previous stints with the Packers, Vikings, and Browns.
While some see his release as a necessary move, others believe Detroit still needs to add another edge rusher to keep their defense competitive.
