Justin Smith still no decision on retirement
by Daniel Rogers | Sun, May 17th 1:46am EDT
The ongoing saga of Justin Smith's possible retirement continues. General Manager Trent Baalke said Smith would announce his decision Friday, May 15th, but no word has been announced to the public yet.
Fantasy Impact:
The 49ers have prepared for the departure of Smith. To bolster the defensive line, the 49ers added veteran Darnell Dockett and top prospect Arik Armstead in the first round of the NFL Draft. Regardless of the new acquisitions, Smith's value to this team is undeniable. He is one of the faces of the franchise, and one of the few left, after team legends Frank Gore and Patrick Willis signed elsewhere and retired, respectively. The 49ers will hope Smith returns for one last year, as his production on the field is still at the same level it always has been, despite being 35 years old.
