The Facts: Coming off off-season hip surgery, Smith readily admits that despite his brilliant career, it will be a fight merely to retain a roster spot, but insists he would have it no other way.
Diehards Line:While it might be foolish to write off a competitor so stubborn he believed an undrafted NFL player could one day own 849 catches for 11,389 yards and 68 touchdowns -- all team records, Smith's future is far from certain. As Post columnist Mark Kiszla suggest, the best way for Smith to stick with the Broncos at this point might be if neither Brandon Marshall nor Brandon Stokley proves to be a trustworthy option across from No. 1 receiver Javon Walker.
