The Facts:
Following up on a
previous item. ... The 49ers are talking to teams about a trade for Smith but currently do not have a deal in place, league sources said Sunday and Monday.
Reported by the Sacramento Bee
Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The 49ers can discuss trading Smith, who had a 104.1 passer rating before suffering a season-altering concussion Nov. 11, but no trade can be finalized until the league year begins March 12. For the last month, reports have consistently linked Smith to the Chiefs, who have the No. 1 overall pick in the draft and had one of the worst quarterback situations in the league last season. As Bee staff writer Matt Barrows notes, the 49ers undoubtedly have talked about moving Smith to the Chiefs -- and the Chiefs currently may be the top suitor -- but San Francisco will continue to entertain offers until March 12 and perhaps beyond. If the 49ers don't trade or release Smith by April 1, they will owe him $8.5 million.
