Chiefs Question: Why can't we back out of the Alex Smith trade now? (or can we?) - Page 4

I wish, but we deserve aids for making it.

1. No contract has been signed, therefore no deal.
2. No way the NFL can penalize anybody.
3. 49ers leaked the trade so screw them.

I hope the Eagles figure out there is no market for Foles at the price they are asking and we trade a 3rd for him.

That's a good point. If this is a matter of honor we're dealing with, the 49ers were huge ****ing tools for leaking the interest in the first place.

well I'm glad it leaked.

The team doesn't want to back out. Fans, outside of this place, don't even want us to.

maybe the deal had a clause that the Cheifs had until 'X' date to void it. or something along the lines of an official shit or get off the pot deal.
I mean, if you're the Niners and along comes the Chiefs who offer up the 34 and a 2nd (reportedly) next year for a guy you're going to cut anywya......and one of their caveats is some sort of expiration date etc, the Niners would be stupid not to take it.

worse case, they cut Smith and save $. Best case, the Chiefs can't back out and you get a haul for a POS QB.

because it won't happen

it was a gentleman's agreement...some people have integrity

I hope Reid and Dorsey have integrity...if they agreed to the deal, they agreed to the deal.

I didn't like the deal but if they agreed to something, they agreed to something.

You are foolish.

Question: If the Bills call the 49ers and offer their 1st round pick and a 4th next year, will Alex Smith be a Chief or a Bill on March 15th?

Answer: A BUFFALO BILL

HotCarl · 03-04-2013, 05:27 PM

The same sources that reported the Smith trade said that KC had made a major commitment to Smith. That says long-term deal.

**DaneMcCloud** · 03-04-2013, 05:31 PM

Wait, let me get this straight:

People actually believe that the Chiefs traded for Alex Smith because they thought they had no opportunity to sign Bowe and Albert, therefore, drafting a QB at #1 overall was off the table because LT was more important?

What?

Would other teams not trust the FO? (They didn't sign anything yet, so I can't see this....)

All is fair in Love & War?

just out of curiosity have you ever been punched for backing out on a deal?

And obtw- this would stick with the Hunt fam, not just the FO.

and one more thing -- Alex Smith was this org's best option.

We won't violate anything for backing out of the trade, and more importantly, if it turns out San Francisco was the culprit for announcing the trade early (we know the Chiefs don't talk deals until they are done) the evidence is on them releasing the info to drive up Alex Smith's worth to gain a better bargain on him, in which case I'd be inclined to back out if my need wasn't as bad as it is.

We needed a vet to show Geno the ropes. We spent our first two picks on the biggest need QB
