Tampa Bay Buccaneers restricted free agent DE Jacquies Smith is visiting with the San Francisco 49ers, per Ian Rapoport of
NFL Media.
Smith was signed by the Miami Dolphins as an undrafted free agent in 2012. In addition to the Buccaneers, he has spent time with the New York Jets and Buffalo Bills. In 2016, he suffered an ACL tear during the Buccaneers' first game of the season – a matchup against the Atlanta Falcons.
In the two seasons prior to his injury, Smith had 39 tackles, 13.5 sacks, three passes defended, and four forced fumbles. He was not a starter with the Buccaneers but was considered to be among the team's most effective pass-rushers.
Earlier this month, the Buccaneers placed an original-round tender on Smith. While the defensive lineman is a restricted free agent, he was undrafted. That means that a team like the 49ers could sign Smith without giving up draft compensation. He carries a salary of just under $1.8 million, according to
Spotrac.com.

Why Alex Smith continues to be impressed by 49ers QB Brock Purdy
The San Francisco 49ers have been impressive through their first two games of the season. Quarterback Brock Purdy continues to win. His regular-season win streak could extend to eight games on Thursday night, with the Niners hosting the New York Giants at Levi's Stadium.
One former player who remains impressed by the 49ers' second-year quarterback is Alex Smith. Smith addressed those who question whether Purdy, the last overall pick in the 2022 NFL Draft, is for real and if the young quarterback can "take this team the distance."
"He doesn't look like Josh Allen or Justin Herbert, the guys that we want to label these premier quarterbacks in the NFL, but he's built, and it's a perfect place to be because he's an amazing facilitator of this offense," Smith said on
49ers Notebook: Deebo is no longer "awful"; Ronnie Bell makes a splash; J.J. Watt praises Niners; Captain Andrew Luck makes Levi's cameo
Thursday night was a fun one at Levi's Stadium, where the San Francisco 49ers cruised to a 30-12 victory over the visiting New York Giants. It was a night that saw wide receiver Deebo Samuel declare himself as officially out of "awful" mode, running back Christian McCaffrey reach milestones, wide receiver Ronnie Bell create some lasting memories, and -- of all things -- Andrew Luck making a return to an NFL field (in full Civil War costume) to take part in a game of trivia.
Let's recap all that and more in this version of 49ers Notebook.

49ers demolish Giants in Week 3 victory: Key takeaways
It's hard to think of the New York Giants without some painful postseason memories. And that's why it's always so sweet to beat them soundly. And the San Francisco 49ers did just that on Thursday night, winning 30-12, and improving to 3-0 on the season.
Although the score was relatively close at halftime, it wasn't as close statistically. And by the end of the game, it was even more lopsided—on the scoreboard and on the stat sheet. When you have more YAC (yards after the catch/contact) than the other team has total yards, you've thoroughly beaten your opponent.
The Giants had 150 yards of total
