Current Cap Space?

Will Smith is the worst possible fit in a 3-4 defense, I still think he gets released. Im not sure how much that would free up though.

That's the thing with Smith, even if we release him he hits our cap so we might as well keep him.

Payton has talked about the defense has played variations of the 34 in the past, and although Smith is not your ideal 34 end at least he is a veteran who can get to the passer. He is not a total loss in my opinion... he can play the run and is a veteran who can probably handle learning another defensive scheme. We could do worse.

So I agree, we might as well keep him. How long is he signed for? I think he is in the last year of his contract. But I could be wrong about that.
