The NFL world woke up Sunday morning to the stunning news that former Saints defensive end Will Smith was murdered in New Orleans in an apparent road rage incident. Smith's wife, Racquel, was also shot twice, but is expected to make a full recovery. Smith was only 34 years old and leaves behind his wife and three children. Eagles players, some of whom played with Smith in New Orleans, reacted on social media.

Powerful piece from John. Will Smith's family & friends and the @Saints organization are in our thoughts and prayers https://t.co/me3QlSvE2T
