San Francisco 49ers defensive lineman Justin Smith is retiring.
Smith announced his decision on Monday in the latest blow to the 49ers this offseason.

After seven seasons with the Bengals, he signed as a free agent in San Francisco and had his best success in seven years with the 49ers.
He was a defensive stalwart on a team that made three straight NFC championship games and played in one Super Bowl. Smith is a two-time All-Pro and a five-time Pro Bowler.
