Smith won a Super Bowl with Baltimore in February 2013, making crucial stops to help secure the title over the San Francisco 49ers in Super Bowl XLVII.

“It just wouldn’t make sense for me to go play for some random team,” Smith before the final game of his career against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Jan. 9. “This is home for me.”
