Per Rand Getlin of NFL Network, CB Sean Smith (Chiefs) has agreed to terms to become a member of the Oakland Raiders, ending the San Francisco 49ers' pursuit of him.
On Monday, it was reported by Matt Maiocco of CSN Bay Area that the 49ers had
discussions about bringing Smith to San Francisco. Cornerback is one of the many positions of need for the 49ers. The 49ers and Smith's former team, the Kansas City Chiefs, were also in pursuit of Smith.
Smith, a 2009 draft selection out of Utah by the Miami Dolphins, has had 353 tackles, 10 interceptions, three forced fumbles, 81 passes deflected, and a defensive touchdown over his career.
In March of 2013, Smith signed a three-year, $18 million deal with $12 million guaranteed to play for the Kansas City Chiefs. He was suspended for the first three games of the 2015 season after pleading guilty to a DUI charge last April.
Pure cornerbacks currently on the 49ers' roster include Kenneth Acker, Tramaine Brock, Marcus Cromartie, Chris Davis,
Dontae Johnson, and Keith Reaser.
The New York Jets may have nearly poached another talented coach away from the San Francisco 49ers — this time before he was officially a part of Kyle Shanahan's staff. Tom Pelissero reports that San Francisco officially agreed to terms with Rich Scangarello to return to the team as its quarterbacks coach. However, Robert Saleh and the Jets made a "hard push" to steal him away.

The San Francisco 49ers lost VP of player personnel Martin Mayhew, who left to become the general manager in Washington. The 49ers' general manager, John Lynch, could be looking to Washington to find some additional help within his own front office and to replace Mayhew, who was considered one of his top lieutenants.
Chris Russell of Sports Illustrated told 106.7 The Fan in the Washington D.C. area that the 49ers are among the teams expressing interest in Washington Football Team VP of player personnel Kyle Smith (h/t to Patrick Tulini), who has been with the organization for 10 years and oversaw the team's most recent drafts.
"I've heard Washington would not stand in their way," Russell told 106.7 The Fan
