Rod Smith is placed on the reserve list
Rod Smith, one of the best players that the Broncos have ever produced, will be on the reserve/retirement list, as per the mutual agreement between the wide receiver player and the Denver Broncos management. There was no pomp, hype or press conference called for announcing the same and was found to be fitting in the way it was delivered. Smith seems to have not fully recovered from the hip debridement surgery and showed signs of pain worsening in his hip after a brief practice session. He underwent another hip surgery in January and the move to keep him in the reserve list has ended a 14 year continuous playing for the Denver Broncos.
Smith said that he was happy playing for all these 14 years and he pretty well knows that once he takes a step out of the playing field, then there will be no way that will make him return to the field again. Rod Smith finds his name to be outside the Broncos primary roster list after 13 years and whatever has been achieved by him will be cherished by his team mates and his organization for many years to come. Smith says that, in football when a player says that he is done, then, it is has to be understood that the deal is over.
