Mazi Smith

Mazi Smith has been traded to the New York Jets as part of a larger deal that saw Dallas also trade a first round pick for Quinnen Williams.

He’s been a healthy scratch for Dallas in recent games, and has been disappointing after being such a high draft selection. He’ll hope to change his fortunes in New York.

Mazi Smith (healthy scratch) will be inactive for Thursday night's game against the Philadelphia Eagles.

The 2023 first-round pick has not lived up to his draft day expectation, and this is yet another blow to his resume. Smith missing the game while healthy is not a good sign of his standing on the team, especially since they will need playmakers to step up in the wake of the Micah Parsons trade.

Mazi Smith underwent an MRI on Monday due to knee soreness.

There should be an update on Smith when available and the results return.

Cowboys DC Matt Eberflus said Mazi Smith "could certainly" bring his game to the next level.

Smith recorded 41 tackles with a sack, and three quarterback hits while starting all 17 games in 2024. “Yeah, I’m excited about Mazi,” Eberflus said. “I liked him coming out. He’s a real explosive athlete, with a big body type that can move really well. Excited about bringing his game to the next level, and he could certainly do that.”

Mazi Smith is continuing to rehab from shoulder surgery.

Cowboys coach Mike McCarthy said it was an injury that bothered Smith all season. He figures to continue to rehab to try and be healthy by training camp.
