Just had to jump in here...
...that's serious revisionist history.
Everyone ASSUMED that Alex was going to resign with SF (including Alex himself) so he didn't make any trips.
The 49ers were in the middle of finding out if they could get Manning. When that became public knowledge is when Alex began looking at other teams.
When Manning signed in Denver and the Dolphins brought in Alex it was clear to the Doplhins that he wanted to stay in SF.
Peeps keep making this out like nobody had any interest in Alex but that isn't the case. The situation was that he wanted to stay in SF and everyone assumed that was what was going to happen until the flirtation with Manning became public.
Its come out since that Reid was interested in Alex LAST year but that wasn't widely publicised at the time.
