ENGLEWOOD, Coloroda (AP) -- Defensive end Anthony Smith, who signed with the Broncos last month after eight seasons with the Oakland Raiders, retired Friday.

"He indicated to the coach today that he had played a long time and had played enough," said Broncos spokesman Jim Saccomano.

The Broncos said they waived Smith, meaning the team has 14 more players to release before the Tuesday deadline to whittle its roster to 60.

Smith, a No. 1 draft choice of the Raiders in 1990, recorded 54.5 sacks, five fumble recoveries and two forced fumbles in his career.
