Last Sunday’s game against the Cowboys found Ravens wide receiver Steve Smith in vintage form.

Smith caught eight passes for 99 yards, scored a touchdown, made a highlight-worthy catch down the sideline and talked enough to Cowboys rookie cornerback Anthony Brown that Brown was left talking about his lack of respect for Smith after the game. The only reminder that it was 2016 might have been the fact that Smith caught the 1000th pass of his career during the proceedings.

That milestone became a reminder as well. Smith is playing this season because last year’s plan to retire was dashed when Smith tore his Achilles and decided he didn’t want to go out as an injured player. The retirement is now set for the conclusion of this season, although coach John Harbaugh admitted that trying to convince Smith to stick around “has crossed my mind.”

“If he wants to come back, he’s welcome. Absolutely,” Harbaugh said, via the Baltimore Sun. “You’d like every good football player you can get. But I don’t want to speak for Steve. He’s had an unbelievably awesome career. He got his 1,000th catch so he should be commended for that. Congratulations to Steve on that accomplishment. We look for many more this year.”

Smith hasn’t shared any thoughts about an adjustment to his plans and there might not be one if one of Smith’s hopes is to walk away before the game forces him out for good.
