Fins CB Sean Smith linked to Chiefs

[Skyy God]

Suck it if Q.

It's a story that makes you shake your head, chuckle, and then ask the bartender to turn the TV station over to American Idol because, in comparison, that sh*t seems mature and sensible.

Vontae Davis may or may not have gotten on Twitter yesterday and blurted out that the Kansas City Chiefs are already negotiating a contract with soon-to-be free agent Sean Smith. Smith and Davis are friends from their days in Miami together. Both were drafted by the Dolphins in 2009. Davis was traded to the Indianapolis Colts in 2012.

Shortly after Davis's Twitter account all but stated that the Chiefs were violating NFL rules regarding tampering, Davis's account sent out the seemingly laughable excuse that it had been hacked. Well, this prompted Sean Smith to address the issue:


Smith then posted this (it's too long to embed the entire tweet):

Ok this is getting out of hand, I've never talked to any other team besides the Miami Dolphins. Yes I talked to vontae and I told him Al Harris (our former coach) got the job up in KC and that I talked to him a few days ago to tell him congrats. That's it! Now why he interpreted that as "talking to KC" idk but there is NOTHING going on! This is ridiculous
OK. That's understandable. So, what about the whole Vontae's Twitter account got hacked thing?


So, you're essentially saying Vontae lied to cover his ass and yours? That's just how I'm reading it.

And if it was just a simple misunderstanding, why did Sean Smith block Miami Herald reporter Armando Salguero in Twitter? I mean, all Salguero did was report on what happened. Even Smith's agent seemingly got a little testy with Salguero over the incident. The Miami reporter did what any decent journalist would do in this situation and contacted agent David Canter for a comment. Canter responded with this lovely little gem:

"Don’t believe everything players tell you Armando. Rule number 1 of football journalism."
Really? I had no idea Smith's agent went to journalism school! And is there such a thing as "football journalism?" Does it have its own separate set of rules? Is one of them not believing the words sent out by a verified NFL player's Twitter account?

Look, maybe I'm reading too much into this, but if Smith is acting so douchey about a reporter actually reporting on something that may or may not be tampering, that kind of suggests that maybe the smoke sent up yesterday might have some fire.

Not a chance Amerson will be there in the 3rd. Guys with his his size/athleticism/skillset are rare. Mid 2nd is the floor.

Our DC just needs to pound discipline into Smith's head. We need a bigger physical corner. We definitely will get one friday night

Which means shit value for most teams in the 1st, and great value for most teams in the 3rd.

This would have been a great year to keep 34 and either use it, or trade down and secure an additional 2nd and/or 3rd. ****.

49ers interested in cornerback Sean Smith

The Seattle Seahawks have acquired wide receiver Percy Harvin in a trade with the Minnesota Vikings, according to multiple reports, and the 49ers are looking for help in the secondary.

The 49ers are expected to make a run "at the right price" for Miami Dolphins cornerback Sean Smith, who is scheduled to hit the free-agent market on Tuesday, a league source told CSNBayArea.com.

The 49ers are expected to face competition from the Philadephia Eagles, the Kansas City Chiefs and Tampa Bay Buccaneers for Smith, a four-year veteran from Utah. Smith was a second-round draft pick in 2009.

The 49ers struggled in the postseason against big wide receivers, such as Atlanta's Julio Jones and Baltimore's Anquan Boldin, and Smith would provide the 49ers with tremendous size (6-foot-3, 214 pounds) on the outside.

Smith has started every game the past two seasons for the Dolphins and recorded four interceptions with 19 passes broken up during that time.

Or the 49ers could have NOT traded for Boldin and signed their own ****ing FS that's only 28.

I ran into @NFL agent @davidcanter earlier. He's working the phones on CB Sean Smith's behalf. Keep eyes on San Fran, KC and Philadelphia.

[ChiefMojo]

Question is, how does the 49ers work in Sean Smith now that they have signed Boldin? Sure after tomorrow Alex Smith comes off the books for them but Boldin takes up a lot of that new cap room. Wasn't the 49ers pretty cap tight already?

This.

[ChiefMojo]

Sounds like now with the Boldin signing that the 49ers may be pushing it close cap wise... still have some players to tender. Have to like KC or Philly's chances with Sean Smith. My guess is Smith isn't going to find quite the money or market he hoped for.

wow, 49ers trying to add veteran winning experience at the expense of speed and youth.

[ChiefMojo]

To think they have 14 draft pick to **** with as well. Don't know how much more they will be doing in the FA market but it really doesn't matter due to the vast amount of draft picks.

The rich get richer.

Ladies and gentleman those are your San Francicso 49ers.
