Veteran NFL linebacker Jaylon Smith has been given a chance by Tom Brady and the Las Vegas Raiders, according to a new report.

Smith, 29, is a one-time Pro Bowler and last appeared in the 2023 NFL season.

But he’s now getting an opportunity to revive his football career, with the Raiders signing him following a weekend tryout, according to ESPN.

Smith is best known for his time with the Cowboys, who took him in the second round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

There, he spent five seasons and earned Pro Bowl honors in 2019 as he racked up 142 tackles (six for loss), two forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks.

He later spent time with the Packers and Giants before suiting up just once for the Raiders in 2023.

Notably, the former Notre Dame star will reunite with Raiders’ defensive coordinator Patrick Graham, who served in the same role while Smith was with the Giants.

Tom Brady is a minority owner of the team and has reportedly played a large role in decisions

The Raiders finished just 4-13 last season, and have reportedly been leaning on the expertise of Brady, who officially joined as a minority owner in October.

The Athletic described him as being ‘heavily involved’ in the team’s decision-making.

And Las Vegas has made some big swings this offseason, trading for quarterback Geno Smith and adding former Seahawks Super Bowl winner Pete Carroll as head coach.

The Raiders also retained defensive end Maxx Crosby on a three-year, $106.5 million contract extension.

Brady will be somewhat familiar with Smith’s game, having faced him twice in his career: once while on the Patriots, and once on the Buccaneers.

In the first meeting, in 2019, Smith racked up eight total tackles, while he finished with four the next time.

The Raiders finished tied for 25th in scoring defense last year, as they allowed 25.5 points per game.
