With Michael Bennett re-signed to the Seattle Seahawks, Michael Johnson expected to sign with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Arthur Jones leaning towards joining the Indianapolis Colts, the defensive end market could be moving swiftly once NFL free agency officially kicks off this afternoon at 4 p.m. ET.

One of the next dominoes to fall after the top three will be veteran defensive end Antonio Smith, who is beginning to pick up interest from teams looking to deal in the secondary market.

According to Mike Jurecki of XTRA 910 Phoenix, Smith is generating interest from the Atlanta Falcons, Carolina Panthers and Tampa Bay Buccaneers. By looking at the interest he is receiving, it looks like a safe bet that he will be joining the NFC South in 2014.
