(Reuters) - Wide receiver Steve Smith has retired after a six-year injury-plagued National Football League career that included two Pro Bowl selections and a Super Bowl victory, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers said on Wednesday.

Smith won a Super Bowl with the New York Giants in 2008 as part of a career that also included stints with the Philadelphia Eagles and the St. Louis Rams. The Buccaneers signed him as a free agent last month.

Drafted by New York in the second round in 2007, Smith had his best season in 2009, setting a Giants single-season record with 107 receptions, second-most in the NFL that year.

During the past three years, knee injuries limited Smith to playing in only 27 of 48 games.

Huh. Wish he had done that before he signed that damned contract with us; Alexander was let go because of this bum. Hell, Steve Smith the Lesser was less useful than Craig Dahl, for fate's sake; at least Dahl could play special teams.

Ardunno Mem, DX didn't make it through training camp healthy enough to start the year on the active roster,so I sorta think it wasn't between them as much as it was that Fisher decide DX's future was too uncertain ON HIS OWN.
Smith had we cut him last year I think there would have been a signing bonus acceleration, wouldn't there?
