Beat writer Matt Barrows believes the Niners are attempting to "create the illusion" they could keep Smith in order to maintain leverage in trade talks. Smith's $8.5 million in scheduled pay is much too lofty for a clipboard holder, and keeping him would risk "locker room turmoil" if Kaepernick struggled. The 49ers will try to trade Smith. If they can't, they might just release him.

A team would be dumb to consider a trade for Smith. Not worth the contract or trade bait. Wait for SF to drop his 8million dollar a$$.

A couple of thoughts on Smith/Flynn vs Rookie.

If Smith or Flynn are released or traded, it likely won't be until the last minute because they won't be trying to do another team any favors.

And do you really want to build your team around either of these guys? Or would you rather take a chance on a rookie who will be cheaper and have more potential?

If I was a GM, I guess I'd do what Seattle/49ers did and signe a veteran (Smith/Flynn) and draft a QB I loved (Kapernick/Wilson) and hedge my bets if the rookie doesn't work out. That being said, do they take that 1st round rookie or that 3rd round rookie???
