FRISCO - As CowboysSI.com was first to report, the Dallas Cowboys parted ways with Aldon Smith due to personal issues, leaving him to sign a one-year deal with the Seattle Seahawks.
But now a sort of personal issue is again about to enter the headlines.
Smith was wanted by law-enforcement officials in the New Orleans area (where he has family) on a charge of second-degree battery that allegedly occurred on April 17.
On Tuesday evening, Smith surrendered to authorities in Louisiana, was booked on a second-degree battery charge, and was released on bond.
Smith’s involvement with issues put an end to his Dallas career. The same thing occurred in March, at least temporarily sidetracking the continuation of his comeback in Seattle (where the Seahawks were interested in signing him then), which started with Dallas a year ago after spending almost a half-decade out of football due to a series of behavior-related NFL suspensions.
