        Eagles Edge Za'Darius Smith announced via Instagram late Monday morning that he's retiring from the NFL. Smith signed with the Eagles just after their narrow Week 1 victory over the Cowboys and played 38% of the defensive snaps over the ensuing five games. He contributed 1.5 sacks and 3 QB hits and leaves a position that has remained a weakness for Philly this season. Expect the Eagles to work the trade market for a solution, especially after Thursday night's embarrassing loss to the Giants.
