Steve Smith Will Wear Purple And Black

The Carolina wide receiver is now FORMER Carolina wide receiver.

Adam Schefter tweeted this morning:

unnamed (1)What does Smith bring to the Ravens? The 34 year-old wide receiver brings a veteran mentality. One Baltimore has been craving since Ray Lewis retired. While the presence of Ray Lewis is irreplaceable, like Beyonce’ says, having someone who’s been in the NFL since 2001, brings a strong voice to that team.

Smith has accumulated over 12,000 receiving yards, 836 receptions, and 67 receiving touchdowns in his 13 season career.

The match-up with him and Joe Flacco could change everything.

Since winning the Super Bowl in 2012, the Ravens lost wide receiver Anquan Boldin to the 49ers. Huge loss for the Ravens. The 33 year-old had 2,645 receiving yards and 14 touchdowns with Baltimore, and got Flacco out of some tough spots. More importantly, he played a huge factor in that Super Bowl Championship.

According to rotoworld.com, Smith is a “capable possession receiver and rugged third-down option.” The deal with Smith is worth $11 million over three years including a $3.5 million signing bonus.
