He is younger than Brandon Weeden ( who was just drafted in the first round). He probably has 5-7 years left in this league after a season in which he nearly broke the completion percentage record with a 70% rate he put forth this year. Smith is a bargain IMO.

They need to dump McCoy, give Weeden one more year and look to developing a QB long term. They cannot afford to give up players/picks for Smith.

They might have to stick with Alex Smith. LOL

Arizona needs him more but no way San Fran trades in their division. No way he ends up in Cleveland as he’s a more expensive Colt McCoy and then they’d be stuck paying Smith and Weedens contract.

I am not sure Reid would want him or just drafting a new QB for the future to start fresh. I think Arizona can cut Kolb. As a Vikings fan, he would be an upgrade over.Ponder. I think we’ve already have seen Ponder and.Kolb’s ceiling.

Alex Smith is worthly virtually nothing on the trade market with his contract and mediocre skills. Not to mention the fact that the 49ers will have to release him.Still, some idiot in Arizona gave up a 2nd rounder, a starting CB, and a huge contract for Kevin Kolb.

Maybe KC gives them a 3rd for him? However, after seeing Smith being unseated, and Flynn getting benched for a rookie, these average QB’s who were thought to be good aren’t seemingly worth all that much?

May be a team player but in 8 years he didnt do much. How many other franchise QB’s can say that? Maybe Phillip Rivers I guess.

KC for a 3rd? Seems fair..

Dream on!

John Dorsey is NOT giving away the Chiefs draft picks.

This team is going to be built up from the draft, with a few FA sprinkled in. And maybe a trade or two. But not getting run over for a HIGH 2nd rd draft pick on QB that wont do crap outside the comfort level of sucking on Harbaugh’s pacifier.

Everybody on this website are completely ignorant, did we all forget Alex Smith was having an MVP season before he got injured.

How many votes do you see Alex getting when he would have been fighting for them with Peyton and A.P.?
Your nuts if you think he was going to come close to getting the MVP!

Smith has been all class. Kapernick has been playing great but Smith was disrespected. Shame on the anti – white 49ers! Martin Luther King would protest the racism of the 49ers

With Kapp and Webb you could keep the same style offense play calling.

IMO this makes him a good fit for Chip Kelly and the Eagles, Alex is a pretty good athlete and an above average passer.

I could see a three-way deal going down…..Alex Smith to Philadelphia, Nick Foles to Kansas City and Kansas City sending their (very high) 3rd & and 4th round draft picks to SF, everybody gets something of value!

I believe the question was, “Mike what have you learned here as your tenure has ended?”
Singletary: “You gotta have a Quarterback.”

If I were Alex I would not want to go to the Vikings.

If a team wants his contract then they’ll send somewhere in the neighborhood of a 4th and if no one wants the contract then he’ll end up getting released.

Either is a better bet than the guys coming out in the draft this year. Next year you shop for a QB in the draft. The trade of Smith and Flynn will drive a lot of strategy in the draft. The Jets are going to need to unload Revis and cannot afford to sign their draft picks, anyway. Why not use the picks an players to get something back that helps the salary cap problem?
