Jaguars Re-Sign Dawuane Smoot
4 years agoThe Jacksonville Jaguars re-signed defensive end Dawuane Smoot to a two-year, $14 million deal on Monday. Despite a disappointing overall defense in 2020, Smoot was one of several young players that showed promise. The 26-year-old was a third-round pick in 2017. He started out slow, but he has racked up 11.5 sacks in the last two years and continues to improve. Smoot is a versatile defensive line piece who led the team in sacks with 5.5 and also chipped in 25 tackles. Under new defensive coordinator Joe Cullen, Smoot could take the next step in 2021. In 56 career games (seven starts), Smoot has 66 combined tackles (14 for loss), 32 QB hits, two forced fumbles, one fumble recovery and 11.5 sacks over four seasons.
