Wouldn't it be nice to have a seasoned veteran to step in if Kap does get hurt? The answer to that is yes..San Fransisco would be stupid to let him walk..

Sure, it would be nice, but you don't pay your QB 8 million dollars to hold a clipboard. Smith has already asked for his release at the conclusion of the season.

Its more than 6.5. They owe him 8 million on March 1st if he is on the roster. That's a lot of money they can use to keep Justin Smith or Dashon Goldson, or a CB or WR.

Look @ Chiefs they paid 2nd round for Matt Cassel and Texans paid 2nd rounder I believe for Schaub. Bills, Chiefs, Eagles, Cardinals, Browns, Raiders, Jaguars, Jets all need QBs...And this is the weakest draft class for QB in recent memory. No luck or RG3 The way I look @ it is look how much a team like the Jets might have benefited from Smith playing instead of Sanchez. He could have easily won 2 games for them and pushed them into playoffs. I can't see a 2nd round picks really having that kind of an impact, unless you hit gold...which is pretty rare

Veteran Joined: Feb 2008 Posts: 3278 Location: Canada	#10 Posted: 1/28/2013 5:29:52 PM Most teams have 13 to 20 million commited to their qbs. kaepernick is on a cheap rookie deal for another 2 years. even if they kept smith, they would only have ~9 million commited to the qb spot, which i am confident in saying is amongst the lowest in the league, so i agree, niners should keep him on the roster....but... .....That being said, smith doesnt want to be in san fran anymore, so time to let him go. he handled himself professionally while being benched and if he wants a chance to be a starter and give up his contract, its better for the team to let him go than keep him chained down and have a unhappy camper for an entire season

Rookie Joined: Dec 2012 Posts: 749 Location: California	#12 Posted: 1/28/2013 8:46:44 PM Alex smith goes because he wants to be a starter. Alex has value on him. We could save thee extra money for later players when their contract is up. Invest to keep solid key players. Colin Kap WILL want a bigger contract also. so it's all about maintaining a sustainable super bowl bond team for the next few years.

Not ignorant at @ all. Draft is a crap shoot @ times. Also how many rookies can make the contribution that Smith would... especially given the position he plays For all the Kaepernicks and Andy Daltons, Deshawn Jacksons that were taken in 2nd round there's a 100 Arrelious Benns

There are lots of 2nd round picks that are absolutely amazing players when they get going in the league. It's not very rare at all. You gotta think about all those RB's are WR's that are passed up on that end up being big time

(not including Kendall Hunter who is hurt).

And with a Team like let say the Jets, Alex Smith could have gotten them a couple of more wins and pushed them in the playoffs... it would be worth it to say give up a 2nd or 3rd round pick for Smith and possibly playoffs.... Which is exactly what Chiefs did when they traded for Cassel. Granted he flopped.
