Steve Smith's supposed last season just didn't go the way he wanted it to. Smith's season started with mediocrity from his team, and ended with a terrible Achilles injury. It just simply wasn't the way Smith wanted to go out.
And it seems as if that's not the way he will close his great career. According to NFL's Ian Rapoport, Smith is strongly considering a return in 2016 for his final ride. Rapoport's sources believe that if Smith feels like his old self after this injury, then 2016 is a go.
While we've yet to hear directly from Smith about what he plans do, practically everybody has been rampantly gossiping about Smith's almost definite return to the Ravens.
