According to Republic staffer Kent Somers, it’s unknown how serious the Cardinals are about trading for a quarterback for the second time in less than two years. But they are intrigued by Smith’s experience, intelligence and talents, according to the source. They believe much of his struggles early in his career can be attributed to changes in coaches and offensive systems. Smith has played well the last two seasons. He helped the 49ers making the NFC title game in 2011, and they were 6-2 in 2012 when he suffered a concussion. Smith completed 70 percent of his pass attempts. The Cardinals are looking into all options to improve production at the position. That includes bringing back Kevin Kolb at a reduced salary.
