The 26-year-old sustained a season-ending foot injury during Week 8 last season. He had 28 tackles and one interception before the injury.

"I think that his best football is still ahead of him," general manager Ozzie Newsome said. "If he doesn't get hurt in the Cincinnati game last year, I don’t know where he could have ended up at as a player, but he was definitely trending up."

Smith is a former 2011 first-round pick by Baltimore. In 2013, he recorded 58 tackles, two interceptions and three forced fumbles.
