49ers Agree to Trade Alex Smith

The 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.

The 49ers have expressed to others that a deal for QB Alex Smith is effectively complete. Can’t be finalized til league year begins 3/12

so it’s not official, both clubs view it at as it’s effectively done. I do not know the other team. KC and JAX are 2 teams that make sense

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

BREAKING: Former 49ers QB Alex Smith has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs. The deal cannot be made official until March 12.
