The defensive end market has been one of the hottest markets during the NFL’s negotiation period leading up to the official start of free agency on Tuesday afternoon, but Houston Texans defensive end Antonio Smith has been managing to stay out of the headlines.

Expect that to change, however, as Ian Rapoport of the NFL Network reports that Smith is expected to take two visits once Tuesday hits and he should have as many as four teams interested.

One DE who had flow under the radar? Antonio Smith, ex-#Texans star. He has 2 visits lined up and 4 teams interested. Should be this week

While the latest buzz may just be agent speak, it would be surprising if Smith’s market didn’t begin to pick up once the first wave of signings at his position is made.
