Depending on who ends up coach there, Philly is definitely a possibility. There has been scattered talk about him on sport talk radio here once Andy is tossed.

Hw would command more than 7.5 million on the open market, right? If so I think teams would be better served trading for him and his 2 years on the contract that has been about 50% paid off.

True. I forgot that when I made the post. It'll be an interesting scenario if CK starts in the playoffs, and fails to win a single game. The 49ers may have to pay Smith the retaining bonus. But what will Smith's action be? How likely it will be for him to demand a trade if he sees opportunity with a viable team?

It depends on the way the game is lost. If CK plays decently, then the 49ers have the easy decision to make. If he is horrible - with the opposing defense shows counter moves against every supposed strength of CK, then the 49ers may have second thought about gambling everything on CK. The team will have to carry out an insurance policy in retaining Smith. In the worst case the team can always trade Smith afterwards.

I get that, but still he did not generate any interest in free agency last year.
Most of the league expected Smith to resign with the 49ers. It was well known and documented

Is he locked up for three years? or if we don't give him the roster bonus does he walk?

Yeah, this year is completely different.
2012 offseason - NFL expects Smith to re-sign with SF, quality in the draft at QB position, most incumbent veteran QBs on solid footing
2013 offseason - NFL expects Smith to be available via trade/release, QB draft class weak, lots of struggling veteran QBs on teams that will change coaching staffs

Teams will shy away from Smith Bc he is a product of the Harbaugh system.
Plus he needs a potent line and rushing attack to be effective.... Those teams don't need a QB.

Some teams may. Not all teams will. A confident coach will see that he can use Smith's positive skillset and win.

My money is on him going to Oakland or KC.

Philly or Jacksonville are my guesses. I don't think the Raiders are willing to give up on Palmer after giving up so much. I dont' see the 9ers agreeing to AZ. I don't think Alex will want to go to the Jets.
