The San Francisco 49ers released outside linebacker Aldon Smith on Friday after his arrest Thursday night by Santa Clara police on hit-and-run, DUI and vandalism charges.
When looking at Smith’s past seasons in the NFL it might be tempting to take a risk on him; 19.5 sacks two years ago after a 14 sack performance in his rookie season is enough for any GM to raise an eyebrow. If you asked them, I think they’d say the same thing.
Smith was attempting to park his vehicle, described as either a large SUV or truck, and allegedly crashed into an adjacent parked auto that was unoccupied, according to Clarke. He allegedly then left the area without reporting the accident.
