The Houston Texans sign DE Antonio Smith
The Texans have signed DE Antonio Smith to a 5-year, $35 million dollar contract. The 27-year old Smith played in all 16 games for the Cardinals last season and he made 41 tackles, had 3.5 sacks and he forced two fumbles. At 6’4″, 285 pounds Smith is more of a run defender than a pass rusher, but, that fills a need on the defense for the Texans. Smith has now played in 60 games in his NFL career and he has 125 tackles, 14.5 sacks and he has forced 3 fumbles. This was a good signing for the Texans.
