Vin+ 3,121 Posted May 10, 2019 Quote Jaguars LB Telvin Smith has announced he will not play in 2019. "At this time I must take time away from this game and get my world in order," Smith said in an Instagram post. "I must give this time back to myself, my family and my health." The word "retirement" was never mentioned. Smith rumors have been percolating for some time now, while the Jags have loaded up on linebackers, including a potential third-round replacement in Quincy Williams. Now 28, Smith remained an every-down player last season, though his effectiveness fell off from an elite 2017. He still managed to notch a sack, two interceptions and a forced fumble in addition to 134 tackles. It is entirely unclear what is causing Smith to step away. Source: Adam Schefter on Twitter Kinda makes sense, since there were weird trade/release rumors prior to the draft, and I don't think that happens if everything is good, either with him or between him and the team. Hopefully whatever the issue is can be resolved. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
