Player Notes

July 24, 2008
As expected, Rod Smith has retired from the NFL, according to the AP. Coach Mike Shanahan said, "People ask me should Rod be in the Hall of Fame. Youre darn right he should be. He put as much pride in blocking for the running backs than he did catching the football. Im just so proud to have a guy like this that I hope is with the organization for a long time.

Smith, who will turn 38 in May, is the teams career leader in receptions (849), yards (11,389) and receiving touchdowns (68). He has had major issues with his hip since 2006, and despite holding out hope to play again, is likely to retire when all is said and done.
