Justin Smith also retiring from 49ers

Turns out Justin Smith is also retiring.

Between he, Willis, and the loss of Gore, I think it's something like 25 probowl selections, 10 All-pros, and over 30 years of experience.

Justin Smith was a huge reason for Aldon Smith's success, so this is doubly delightful.

Edit: looks like it's actually 17 Pro Bowls, 8 first team All-Pro selections, 2 2nd team All-Pro selections, and 29 years of experience between them. Lulz.

Edit #2: to any Niners fans reading this because you are a troll or found our thin slice of heaven here from a Google search, suck it, and our SEO is better than yours.

    • There's only two paths to that happening. First is that Theilen misses a significant chunk of the season, the other is that XL and Coker both either flop or have injuries themselves. I love the pickup of Renfrow as I think he'll be great in the locker/film room for all the young guys while giving us a natural replacement of Thielen in the WR room next year to be the wiley old vet in the room. But he has almost no path to getting snaps this year unless the guys ahead of him have injuries or just suck.  Assuming he makes he squad, he's more likely to be inactive more often than he's active on game days.   And he's not the best route runner on the team, that's still Thielen, who even at this point in his career is still one of the better route runners in the league.
    • I'll go ahead and say it because the average poster is too scared to say it.  Hunter Renfrow is the best route runner on the team.  He will catch more balls than a couple of those dudes added together.  It's Short King season!   Get on the wagon while there are still seats available! 
    • But that's the WR4 this year, we only have one year left of Thielen. If Coker has injury issues and/or regresses and shows why he went undrafted, unless Horn ends up REALLY living up to the minicamp hype, we'd actually end up in need of another good WR option next offseason again. I love the potential of T-Mac, XL, Coker, Horn as our 1-4 next year and into the future. And while I of course have a million percent belief that T-Mac is going to be that guy for us, it's still a big year for the rest of the WR room to prove we're set at the position for the foreseeable future once Thielen is gone after the season.
