Packers to add S Amos, OLB Smith

Outside linebacker Za'Darius Smith and safety Adrian Amos agreed to deals with the Green Bay Packers on Tuesday, according to NFL Network. Smith was a trade target of the Packers in 2018 and his signing in Green Bay continues an exodus from a Ravens' defense bracing to subtract inside linebacker C.J. Mosley (Jets) and longtime edge pillar Terrell Suggs. Safety Eric Weddle was released and signed with the Los Angeles Rams.

Smith ranked in the top 20 in edge pressures last season, according to Pro Football Focus. He had a team-high 8.5 sacks and 24 quarterback hits in 2018. Amos started for the NFC North rival Chicago Bears, who attempted to bring him back against stiff competition from the Packers and New York Giants, per reports.

Amos, 26, can play deep safety and in the box as a strong safety. --Field Level Media
