I think you need to appreciate this phone call:

RING RING.

GM X FROM TEAM Y ANSWERS: Hello?

ALEX SMITH'S AGENT: Hi, is this GM x?

GM X: Yes.

AGENT: This is AGENT 0, I represent Alex Smith.

GM X: Speak of the devil! We are about to trade for ol' Alex.

AGENT: Yeah, he's not gonna play for you.

GM X: Uh... he's under contract for two years. He has to.

AGENT: He will never sign an extention with you. He will have a "nagging shoulder injury" that sidelines him all season. He won't do any voluntary workouts. And after one miserable season, he will sit out until you release him.

GM X: Okay, thanks, bye.

RING RING

49'ers GM: Hello, this is the GM.

GM X: Yo, it's me.

49'ers GM: Buddy!

GM X: Trade is off. I'll give you a 7th rounder for him, and that's it.

49'ers GM: Shit.
