Then we find out later that Condon was pitching Manning to the niners. So if the niners made Smith an offer and Smith agreed to that offer, why wasn't it finalized? Seems to me that Condon specifically held out to allow the niners to kick the tires on manning.
But if that's true, why the **** would Smith stay with Condon?
What I do believe, is that Smith is more interested in a team that is going to commit to him. If they can find a way to do that, that doesn't involve a huge payday, I think he will take it.
It may be however that Condon convinces Smith that the only way to get that commitment that Smith seeks is via a huge contract. And he may be right.

show me someone here that thinks an agent can MAKE a player accept or decline a contract...
