Packers Rumor: Anthony Smith Will Get Cut

Former Steelers Safety, Current Packers Safety Anthony Smith

USTE has been hearing for almost two weeks that Anthony Smith was not a fave. Last night, we talked with our Packers source and were told not to be surprised when you see Smith’s name on the waiver wire. That’s hard to understand when you see him perform as he did last week against the Arizona Cardinals. Smith is physical, smart, and aggressive because he’s played in this 3-4 system for years. His competitiors at the safety position lack his experience and consistent playmaking ability.

Packers fans may not care much about this rumor, but if you are a student of their new defense you will. Smith won a Super Bowl playing in the 3-4 with the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was signed by Ted Thompson (Packers GM) in the offseason to provide depth and competition to the Packers young secondary.
