The 49ers have expressed to others that a deal for QB Alex Smith is effectively complete. Can't be finalized til league year begins 3/12


Jason La Canfora ‏@JasonLaCanfora

so it's not official, both clubs view it at as it's effectively done. I do not know the other team. KC and JAX are 2 teams that make sense

Just got laid. Feeling much better now. This trade still sucks. But I just got laid.

If they re-sign Alex to a contract extention I would agree. If it stays at 2 years I think there is a chance. Especially if Reid likes Geno. And how could he not based on the numbers Geno posted today?

Personally, I think value is over-rated. If the Chiefs can pick up a first and second rounder in 2013 and a third rounder in 2014 (or something similar), they should take the money and run.

I mean, look at this receiver class! There are three guys that could make an impact on Day One. And the tight ends? I think we discussed Eifert and Ertz yesterday in the Combine thread.

Outside of a QB at #1 overall, I could think of nothing better than snagging Patterson or Austin along with Eifert or Ertz, which would also give them flexibility for an ILB, Safety or CB in the second round.

Dude, please. The Chiefs aren't going to take a QB at #1 overall and make him sit on the bench behind Alex Smith until 2015.

That's absurd.

More and more reports out tonight saying 49ers have worked out a deal for QB Alex Smith. Speculation points to Chiefs. Tonite at 10 on 41.

Bowe won't lock down unless he has a QB.

The Chiefs can't say they will get Geno, because they could always change their mind.

No, Bowe ostensibly wants somebody now that the Chiefs can prove.

They say how about Foles or Alex Smith? Bowe says yes.

So they go out and try to get the best deal.

It's not the end of the QB makeover. It's just a good faith show to a Pro Bowl WR so they can lock down Albert.

Makes some sense, is all I'm saying.

Alex is better than all the ones we have now.


For a 4th?

Sure.

Sorry to King for bleeding all over this thread.


Now that my head is clear, a part of me is thinking this could be a smoke screen from the 9ers to drive up the price for Smith.

Yes, considering the garbage source that broke it I wouldn't put too much weight into it. Though it does make me nervous as ****.

They'll make them compete.

Reid has usually had two competent QBs at hand in Philly.

If its for a 4th round pick im fine, if it also means no Geno then its dumb. We need to draft Geno at 1 to groom

No, it actually makes no sense at all. Nobody lets a WR determine the outcome of a QB

Reports: Trade that will take Alex Smith out of San Francisco is ‘all but done’

INDIANAPOLIS -- According to multiple reports, the San Francisco 49ers have wrapped up a trade that will put quarterback Alex Smith in a new city. Jason La Canfora of CBS Sports reported via Twitter that the 49ers have sewed up negotiations with a willing trade partner. The interested team is not yet known, though Gregg Rosenthal of NFL.com says that from everything he's heard around the scouting combine this week, the Kansas City Chiefs have a deal for Smith that is "all but done."
NFL.com's Ian Rapoport reported on the NFL Network that the Chiefs have the most interest, and that new Chiefs head coach Andy Reid is very intrigued with Smith's mobility, but that a deal isn't yet consummated. Rapoport also said on NFL.com that the 49ers will continue to lay the groundwork for a trade that will give Smith to a new NFL team.
If the deal is in place, it can't actually take place until the new league year begins on March 12.
Smith, the 49ers' first draft pick in 2005 and the first overall selection that season, went through several subpar seasons before Jim Harbaugh was hired as the team's head coach before the 2011 season. Harbaugh limited Smith's liabilities and accentuated his strengths, and Smith responded with his best season to date that year. He threw 17 touchdown passes and just five interceptions in 2011, and came back with an even stronger campaign in 2012.
Through nine starts, he had a quarterback rating of 104.1, but a concussion suffered in the team's 24-24 tie with the St. Louis Rams on Nov. 11 opened the door for second-year quarterback Colin Kaepernick, selected in the second round of the 2011 draft. Kaepernick lit the 49ers' formerly conservative offense up with his deep passing ability and impressive mobility, leading the 49ers to a close loss in Super Bowl XLVII to the Baltimore Ravens.
"I think the main thing is Alex is a heck of a football player," Harbaugh said this week at the combine. "Alex is really playing the best football of his career the last two years. And we think we have the best quarterback situation in the National Football League. Feel strongly about that. Again, that'll be a process that plays out. Alex Smith, continuing to be a 49ers or if a trade occurs in the next weeks or months. Those are the two possibilities -- most-likely possibilities."
Kaepernick is clearly the future of the 49ers, and Smith will be a willing and attractive target for several NFL teams in desperate need of improvement at the quarterback position. With the 2013 draft class coming up short at quarterback, and the Chiefs holding the number-one spot in the draft, a trade for Smith would allow them to select an outstanding offensive or defensive lineman this year.
Texas A&M left tackle Luke Joeckel is most often pointed toward Kansas City in mock drafts that don't include a quarterback by default, but Central Michigan's Eric Fisher and Florida defensive lineman Sharrif Floyd are possibilities with the top spot. A guard has never been selected first overall, but some experts believe that Alabama's Chance Warmack is the best player in this draft class.
Smith is currently signed with the 49ers through the 2014 NFL season. In 2013, he is scheduled to make a base salary of $7.5 million plus a $1 million roster bonus if he's still with the team at the turn of the new league year.

Has anybody posted any info what the Chiefs are giving the 49ers for Smith? (That is if the rumor is true)

Who said anythig about sitting him until 2015?

[HotCarl]

A deserving starting QB in the NFL for a 4th round pick is such a steal it's hard to believe that will really be the compensation.

Getting him and trading down could allow us to remodel this team in a hurry. This really increases my hope for the Dorsey regime.
