After breaking his leg two seasons ago, it looked like Smith would never play again but he stayed resilient and made it all the way back to starting in the league.

Unfortunately, the comeback story was amazing but it’s now over. The football team is moving on in 2021.

Here is the statement released by the team:

]]> 49ers Agree to Trade Alex Smith http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2013/02/49ers-agree-to-trade-alex-smith.html Mon, 25 Feb 2013 20:23:35 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=4851 john beck alex smithThe San Francisco 49ers have a good problem. In a down year for quarterbacks, they have one of the few quarterbacks on the market with experience and a young quarterback already in the fold. That means that Mr. Alex Smith is an asset that can be traded to the highest bidder.

According to CBSSports.com’s Jason LaCanfora a deal has been reached with a mystery team.

Teams that could use Smith’s services include Kansas City, Jacksonville, New York Jets, and Buffalo. We’ll find out in a few days where Alex Smith will be traded.

UPDATE: Alex Smith is a Chief

]]> Where Will Alex Smith, Joe Flacco, and Michael Vick Play in 2013? http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2013/02/where-alex-smith-joe-flacco-and-michael-vick-play-in-2013.html Thu, 07 Feb 2013 02:37:34 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=4702 FlaccoThe season is finally over, and it is time for another off-season in the NFL.  The draft is around the corner but as we approach teams are already starting to shuffle the decks.  With shuffling the deck comes shuffling the quarterbacks in the league.  Guys like Alex Smith, Michael Vick, and even Joe Flacco may be on the move.

We’ll do our best for now to project where your favorite free agent quarterbacks might end up in a game of “should, could, and won’t:”

vickMichael Vick

What He Could Do: Vick could stay with the Eagles if they elect to keep him (all indications are that they will pay the $3 million guarantee to keep him).  He fits in Chip Kelly’s offense to a degree and would allow the team to find a backup and shop Nick Foles.

What He Should Do: Vick should request a trade or his release and sign with the Arizona Cardinals.  I’m not going to re-write all the reasons why. Click Here.

What He Won’t Do: Vick won’t accept a backup position to Nick Foles or any other young player.  He still feels he can play, and deserves a chance to start.

john beck alex smithAlex Smith

What He Could Do: Alex Smith could be granted his release and sign with the Kansas City Chiefs.  They need a quarterback and he has proven to be a winner and a great bridge for a rookie albeit a bit limited in his vertical passing.

What He Should Do: Alex should stay with the 49ers and hold the clipboard for Colin Kaepernick.  He knows the offense, the team believes in him, and they are close to winning a Super Bowl.

What He Won’t Do: Smith won’t go away quietly.  Even if he stays in San Fran expect a lot of stories about Alex wanting a shot to start.

flacco2Joe Flacco

What He Could Do: Joe played his cards right and bet on himself.  Now as an unrestricted free agent in a WEAK quarterback year, Joe stands to cash in.  What Joe obviously could do is ask for one of the richest contracts in the league at over $20 million per year.

What He Should Do: What Joe should do is play the market.  The Ravens did not believe in him before the Super Bowl run and now they are going to have to pay out the nose for Joe’s services.  Don’t be surprised if stories start leaking about Joe and the Cleveland Browns.  The Browns have the cap room offer him the richest quarterback contract ever- and Joe should listen.

What He Won’t Do: Joe won’t leave the Ravens.  Even though the Ravens are rebuilding, the only other place that has the cap room right now is Cleveland and the grass is not always greener on the other side.  Get your money and keep winning games in Baltimore.

]]> Alex Smith Demands His Release After the Superbowl http://www.mockdrafthq.com/2013/01/alex-smith-demands-his-release-after-the-superbowl.html Tue, 29 Jan 2013 00:46:39 +0000 http://www.mockdrafthq.com/?p=4646 john beck alex smithIt must suck if you’re Alex Smith.  He finally put together some good years back-to-back, his team rose to the top of the NFC and he was on the cusp of a deep playoff run.  All of that only to be lost to hotshot second year player, Colin Kaepernick, who wowed coaches with his arm talent and running abilities.

For now Alex is being a good solider (though he never takes his helmet off, take that as you will.)  However he has asked to be released after the Super Bowl.

To me, this is a story because what kind of guy puts this information out before the biggest game of his career?  What if Kaepernick gets hurt and Alex has to play?  Will he stay in the confines of the offense or attempt to shine with his impending free agency on his mind?  Just imagine if Terrell Owens did this.

Anyways, where will Alex Smith play next season?

Here are the usual suspects:

  • Philadelphia Eagles
  • Arizona Cardinals
  • Jacksonville Jaguars
  • Oakland Raiders
  • Kansas City Chiefs

With his limitations I doubt a team is willing to offer him an uncontested starting job.  Holding the clipboard for Kaep might not be a bad idea after all.
