Smith signed a four-year, $40 million contract with the Raiders prior to the 2016 season. He struggled for most of the past two seasons with the team, so it was obvious the team was going to release him, saving the Raiders $8.5 million in salary cap space.
His ple agreement comes after he was arrested and charged with felony assault last year.
