Before joining the 49ers in 2015, Smith — a 2011 second round pick out of Maryland — played four seasons with the Baltimore Ravens, winning a Super Bowl in 2012. In 2013, Smith caught a career-best 65 balls for 1,128 yards and four touchdowns.
The Eagles are projected to have somewhere in between $10 and $14 million in cap space this offseason, according to CBS Sports.
Smith has a $9.6 million cap hit in 2017, and will cost $4.8 million against the cap if released ($4.8 million cap savings), according to spotrac.com. Smith can be released for a cap savings of $6.4 million before the 2018 season and $8 million before the 2019 season.
