Steve Smith Sr. has returned to his permanent home in Charlotte, but not without giving a heartfelt goodbye to Baltimore.
The now retired wide receiver took out a large advertisement in The Baltimore Sun Friday morning to deliver a special message to Ravens fans.
After spending 13 years with the Carolina Panthers, Smith spent the final three seasons of his career with the Ravens. He lived in Baltimore while his family of wife, Angie, and four children, remained in North Carolina.
The message reads as such:
It’s been such an honor to finish my NFL career here.
