It was a quick decision for a player who has flirted with retirement in the past and Ravens coach John Harbaugh said Tuesday that the team wants him to take some time before making any final decisions. Harbaugh said General Manager Ozzie Newsome told Smith to take three weeks to take a nap, figuratively, and kind of decide how you feel about a 15th NFL season.
Assuming the decision remains the same, Harbaugh said that the Ravens might have a different role in mind for Smith after the vet had 573 of his 1,065 receiving yards in the first six weeks of the season.
Steve was brimming with enthusiasm last time I talked to him to come back and play a role whatever role that might be, Harbaugh said, via ESPN.com. He doesnt have to be [in] a role where hes playing every snap or anything like that, but he looks like he still has plenty left in the tank to me. So, hopefully we can
Its up to Steve, really, in the end how he feels and if he thinks he can do it physically.
