49ers have completed a trade with the Chiefs for Alex Smith, tho can't be official til March 12. Chiefs really made a commitment to Smith

Jay Glazer @JayGlazer
Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith.

Right, which is what I've read as well. Swapping seconds this year and a conditional pick in 2014. IMO, that's far more palatable than two seconds straight up to San Fran.

It doesn't make it a great trade but it makes it a little easier to swallow.

Trust me, us 49er fans so many times questioned the moves Harbaugh has made. But at some point you just have to trust those decisions. Lucky for us, each one of those decisions as worked out for us. Give your new regime a chance.

No.

**** that. NO ONE gets a free pass anymore. We've done that before.

Agreed. Let's just hope that is the case.

In addition to that, ProFootballTalk is reporting that the deal isn't done until it's done, meaning that either side can back out before March 12th.

So, I'm just doing my best not to overreact because the parameters of this deal could be far different than what's being reported.

200 posts back the TBG reported an email that said Smith is definitely coming here.

This deal is 100% not falling apart.

I hope this will end up being the case, but I have my doubts.

You guys are just overreacting. Calm down.

Your QB lost you guys numerous games last year. Alex Smith will not be the reason you lose games. That's not what he does. He's not going to turn the ball over late in games. That alone should almost get you to 8-8. Add a few key pieces in other areas and you are almost in the playoffs.

Well, they may need to do that because of his cap number of $8.5 million in 2013. The Chiefs need to re-sign Albert, Bowe, Colquitt and restructure Jackson. So all of that may require a tweak to Smith's contract.

I'm good with that, as long as they don't give him some asinine number that doesn't allow them to cut him in 2015.

Agreed. I can live with a swap of seconds. Here's my best case scenario in a Smith to Chiefs deal:

1. Swap of 2nds plus conditional pick next year.
2. Smith is NOT signed to a long-term deal (I believe he has 2 years left.)
3. Cassel is cut and Quinn is not retained.
4. We use our #1 pick on Geno Smith with the belief that he has what it takes to be a franchise QB but isn't ready to step in on day 1 like RG3, Luck, Wilson were and would like to follow the process that Rodgers went through in Green Bay. Let him sit for one year, and then next year take over.

I don't think it'll fall apart, per se, but it was mentioned that if the Niners received a better offer, they could dump the Chiefs as trade partners.

It's unlikely but one can hope...

Not gonna happen.

**** each and every last 9er fan that is telling us to calm down.

**notorious** · 02-27-2013, 06:43 PM

If we swap seconds and draft a QB, I will not lose my shit.

Dysert in the 5th?

If they think this roster, with some free agents added, is good enough to win now while still drafting Geno/Barkley at 1 and going Rodgers with them for 2 years, I'd be overjoyed. Don't think it will work like that, but I could stomach it.
