The Alex Smith to #Chiefs trade is now official. 49ers get 2nd round pick plus conditional 2014 pick. Chiefs get starting QB



The San Francisco 49ers have agreed to a trade with the Kansas City Chiefs. The 49ers will acquire an undisclosed 2013 draft choice, and a conditional pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, in return for sending QB Alex Smith to the Chiefs. Smith must pass a physical in Kansas City for the trade to be executed.

“We would like to thank Alex for his contributions to the 49ers organization over the past eight years,” said 49ers General Manager Trent Baalke. “He is a true professional who represented the 49ers with class on and off the field.”

Originally the first overall draft pick in the 2005 NFL Draft by San Francisco, Smith spent eight seasons in the red and gold. During his tenure with the 49ers, he started 75 of the 80 games in which he played, completing 1,290 of 2,177 pass attempts (59.3%) for 14,280 yards and 81 TDs.

In 2012, Smith was 6-2-1 as a starter, completing 153 of 218 pass attempts (70.2%) for 1,737 yards with 13 TDs and 5 INTs, and a QB rating of 104.1. In 2011, Smith led the 49ers to their first NFC West title and postseason berth since 2002. He threw for a career-high 3,144 yards on 273 of 445 pass attempts with 17 TDs, 5 INTs and a 90.7 QB rating.

Born in Seattle, WA, Smith attended Helix High School in LaMesa, CA. At the University of Utah, Smith boasted a 21-1 record as a starter and became the first player in school history to be named a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.

I don't think this necessarily rules out Geno, obviously puts it as unlikely, but I don't see Chase Daniels being a #2. Hopefully he learned something in New Orleans from Drew Brees, but obviously these are very underwhelming Quarterback acquisitions. I'm not looking at our FA signings so far as anything spectacular: Anthony Fasano comes off as Kevin Boss only a bit better, I don't know a whole lot about Devito except that I liked his uncle in Twins, unless they bring in a tackle, I'd pretty much say that locks it up for the number 1 pick, especially if we're still pursuing DRC or Sean Smith.

the thing i don't get about the "we'll see" mentality is, we have ALREADY seen what happens. this will not end well.

If he really felt that way, he would have tried to move on from Cassel in any subsequent year.

That fat turd is a smug douche.

agreed

I really can't get excited over these lazy and uninspired moves. All of this crap has been done here so many times and just ended up producing the same old results.

Grats Chiefs on your brilliant capture of a 9-7 season.

....and I'm officially checked out. Same shit, different day.

Hearing that KC might ask QB Alex Smith to restructure his contract for a little cap room. No cut, just shift.

Every move is pointing towards a Tackle at one or a trade down and taking one. Every single one. It really bothers me that they'd just cut a very good tackle in Winston to take one that high.
