Cowboys’ Former First-Round Pick Mazi Smith Left Without an NFL Team After Struggling AFC Team Cuts Him

The Miami Dolphins are sitting at 0-5, looking for answers to salvage their season, and they are starting with a roster shakeup. As part of those changes, the struggling AFC franchise released a former first-round pick by the Dallas Cowboys to make room for defensive lineman Jordan Jefferson. “The #Dolphins have released DT Mazi Smith, the former #Cowboys first-round pick, who had been on Miami’s practice squad,” NFL insider Ari Meirov reported on X. Mazi Smith has played for three NFL teams during his career: the Dallas Cowboys, New York Jets, and Miami Dolphins.
