Does anyone want to play defence for the San Francisco 49ers this year?
Following the retirement of Patrick Willis, a possible Hall of Fame contender, five time Pro Bowl selection, Justin Smith also announced that he will not be returning to the Niners and has elected to retire citing his inability to compete at 100 percent.
The Defensive End entered the NFL with the Cincinnati Bengals where he played his first seven seasons but it was with San Francisco, the team he signed as a free agent in 2008 where his career would reach its greatest heights.
Smith would make five consecutive Pro Bowls (2009-13) and was a First Team All Pro in 2011. Smith was also named the San Francisco 49ers MVP in 2008 and 2011 and Sports Illustrated named him their Defensive Player of the Year.
Justin Smith retires with 87 Quarterback Sacks and started 211 and 214 Games.

Just you because they were your former teammate it does not mean that you automatically think that they should be in the Hall of Fame.
That is what we learned from former New York Yankee, Jorge Posada, who was an All Star Catcher and former teammate of Alex Rodriguez and Roger Clemens, the latter of which has been on the Hall of Fame ballot for a few years and is not expected to enter Cooperstown based on the support he has received thus far.
Posada was not ambiguous when asked on CBS whether A-Rod or Clemens should be in the Hall as his answer was “No…I don’t think it’s fair”. This was also a stance that will be echoed in his book, which he has been promoting nationally.
While, the former baseball player was clear on his opinion, there did not appear to be any overt hostility towards the men he shared a World Series Championship with.
