Aldon Smith Reinstated By NFL
5 years agoDallas Cowboys pass-rusher Aldon Smith was conditionally reinstated by the NFL and will be able to take part in the team's virtual offseason program immediately. Smith hasn't played in the NFL since 2015 thanks to a laundry list of legal issues, but he was once one of the most feared pass-rushers in the league, racking up 14 sacks in 2011 and 19.5 sacks in 2012 with the 49ers. Dallas signed Smith before the draft with the expectation that he would be reinstated, and their confidence paid off. Assuming Smith stays out of legal trouble, he will improve a Cowboys pass rush that finished in the bottom half of the NFL with just 39 sacks last season.
