Steve Smith to Retire (?)

[gorillamilitia13]

Per Sportscenter's Instagram account.

After this week against the Bengals. Shame he never ended up winning a super bowl but what he brought to this league means a lot more than the Lombardi trophy. Salute to this man.

Edit: He say's he is 89% sure that this Sunday's game will be his last.

Hope he wants to retire a Panther. It's only right.

So sad that he will retire a Ravens bc of one guy: Gman.

Man, I wish he would've retired a Panther.

Didn't he say this last year?

Gettleman need to right the wrong and sign him to a one day contract so he can retire as a Panther..

I'll be at that opening game to see that in person..

Agent 89..

Hopefully we will now hear the end of the whining about  Smitty  before the end of 2017.

Oh, Steve Smith is retiring....again.  Don't buy it yet.

IF he came back one more season and had comparable numbers to right now (not even adding in next games bump)

Receptions: He potentially could move from 12th in receptions to 7th with comparable numbers or manage just 45 catches to move into the top 10.

Yards:  He could move with comparable yards from 7th to 3rd (pending Larry Fitz stayed quiet)

So....yeah, in the offseason and he starts feeling froggy again with some rest I could see him eyeing the history charts and thinking about what a 45 rec, 750 yard season would mean to his legacy.

Or..

The Panthers can sign him for last season and go out blazing..

According to him, the Ravens and him were a better fit. Guess we'll see.
