GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The Green Bay Packers made their first free-agent deal of the offseason official Monday, announcing the signing of safety Anthony Smith.
The 6-foot, 200-pound Smith spent his first three seasons in Pittsburgh and has four career interceptions in 46 games. Several media outlets reported the Packers agreed to terms with Smith last week, but the team waited until Monday to acknowledge the deal.
New Packers secondary coach Darren Perry was Smith's defensive backs coach in 2006, and Smith's experience playing in a 3-4 defensive alignment will come in handy as the Packers ditch their 4-3 defensive scheme going into next season.
