The Bills are expected to cut Smith on Saturday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network per a source.

EDGE Analysis

The Bills just traded for Smith on Monday with Carolina. While it seems like that was a foolish move given Saturday's cut, the word is the pick was conditional and in the end Buffalo got what amounts to a free look at Smith. Perhaps the Bills will try to move him to the practice squad if he clears waivers.

Smith was traded to Buffalo from Carolina on Monday in exchange for a conditional pick in 2023, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

The cost isn't very steep for the Bills, who continue to build depth and try to improve their special teams. Smith still probably has some work to do to have something more than a short-term role with his new squad.

EDGE Analysis
