Smith was released by the Vikings on Monday, Craig Peters of the team's official site reports.
Smith re-upped with Minnesota in March after spending much of last year on the team's practice squad. The 29-year-old cornerback recorded six tackles over five contests in 2022, though all 17 of his defensive snaps came in a Week 17 loss to Green Bay. Smith will now look to carve out a larger role elsewhere heading into the regular season.

Titans' Tye Smith: Makes impact late in season
Rotowire
Smith tallied 26 tackles and two forced fumbles across nine games for the Titans in 2019.
Smith was cut and re-joined the team in early November, but he made an impact late in the season. After failing to log a single defensive snap for the first 11 games of the campaign, he stepped up in the absence of Adoree' Jackson and Malcolm Butler (wrist). Smith will enter the offseason as an unrestricted free agent, so it remains to be seen where he'll land for the 2020 season.
