Chiefs really made a commitment to Smith Jay Glazer @JayGlazer Deal has been agreed upon between Chiefs and 49ers. Compensation unclear but I'm told again Chiefs have made a clear commitment to Smith. |

When the Chiefs traded for Matt Cassel, I deferred to Pioli's supposed insider knowledge of how good Cassel was, but argued that he was betting his tenure as GM on the deal. Alex Smith is more a known commodity than Matt Cassel, and he's simply not that good. Unless Reid is really the QB guru he thinks he is, these guys went all in on a losing hand, just like Pioli.

Remember when we all laughed at the Raiders for what they gave up for Palmer?

Alex Smith's contract
2012: $5 million base salary (fully guaranteed); $3 million roster bonus; $1.25 million in likely-to-be-earned incentives; $1.75 million in unlikely incentives. 2013: $7.5 million base salary ($1 million guaranteed); $1 million roster bonus; $1.25 million in likely-to-be-earned incentives; $1.75 million in unlikely incentives. 2014: $7.5 million base salary; $1.25 million in likely-to-be-earned incentives; $1.75 million in unlikely incentives. What it means: Smith was guaranteed $9 million upon signing ($10.5 million with injury guarantees), but this could well be a deal that runs a year and is worth only that much. The 2013 roster bonus is due in March, and if Smith is on the roster on April 1 of next year, his $7.5 million base salary will be guaranteed. If they cut him before the roster bonus comes due, they only owe him the $1 million guarantee. So, at least from a practical standpoint, the Niners will have to make a decision next March if Smith will be the starter for 2013. |

Well, this is a bummer.
For the record, I don't think Smith = Cassel, but I also don't think he's good enough to win you a super bowl. I think his ceiling is a Trent Green type. Only way this trade works for me is if we somehow get....oh, Barkley or someone to groom behind him. Maybe somebody will want to move up for Geno? |
