Smith likely to swallow his pride

Yeah, they'll come to terms. SF has to know that they aren't going to find anyone better at this point in the off-season. And Smith has to know that he's on the best team he'll ever play for. They can blame it all on Smith's agent and put it behind them.

I guess it comes down to how much the kid wants to win.

That sure as hell isn't in Miami.

He'll be back. There's nothing like the smell of a new contract to let bygones be bygones.

Not sure I want to hear about guys swallowing anything in that city.

Grand prize Winner.

I don't know why he has to swallow his pride. The Niners made a play for a first ballot HOF QB who is clearly better than Smith is even at this point in his career. How can you blame them even if the guy was going to take his job? Besides, in the end it's going to net him a bigger contract.

Maybe his agent wasn't selling him out all along as everyone thought and used Manning to leverage the Niners for Smith and not vice versa. Manning didn't want the NFC from the beginning because of Eli. If he wanted to win and win now, the Niners were the choice, but he'd have to face Eli to do it.

I think the Niners got played and were really never in the running.

ewwwww,

South Beach is not a good career move.

I would love to see him stick it to the 9ers. He takes that team within one game of the SB and they want Manning? I'd be pipssed too. Unfortunately, that's not likely to happen.

Harbaugh will be swallowing a lot too. They can have a swallow off. Would make great reality TV.

LOL!!

Smith is jaded. = $$,$$$,$$$

You think that was the quid pro quo between Condon and Manning? Interesting. Maybe five years from now, in Manning's autobiography, we'll be reading more about this.

Manning's definitely a gamer; what about Condon?

hurry-up back to the 49r's......before you end-up as a $2-mill.-a-year backup [on a 2-14 team] !

has no choice but to be quiet - regardless of what smith says, it will be reported as he is ultimately complaining that he thinks he is better than peyton ******* manning
