San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York is a happy camper when it comes to his quarterback situation.

Why shouldn’t he be? It was the one-two punch of Alex Smith and Colin Kapernick that led his team to the threshold of the promised land.

Unlike others that  have already stated that Smith is on the first thing smoking out of Dodge City, York is holding on to a belief that he can retain the services of both players.

  • Yeah, and I wanted the Colts to keep Peyton and draft Luck also. LOL forget it! Coach has his man and after all the BS he's gone through with this team he should be going if he has any self-respect at all.

Report: Smith likely to request release

Via Fox Sports  |  January 28, 2013
The San Francisco 49ers' former starting quarterback Alex Smith is expected to seek his release before free agency, according to Pro Football Talk. Smith, who lost the starting job to Colin Kaepernick in Week 10, would prefer to be released so he can garner the full benefits of free agency, the report says. The 49ers aren't likely to release Smith because of his value in...

Report: Alex Smith Will Ask for Release Before March 12 Free Agency Start Date

Via NESN.com  |  January 28, 2013
Unless Alex Smith has to relieve Colin Kaepernick in Super Bowl XLVII this Sunday, the former No. 1 overall pick has likely played his last game with the 49ers. Now, San Francisco has to pick between trading Smith and his $8.5 million contract, or releasing him. The quarterback would prefer the latter. Smith will ask for his release before the start of free agency, March 12, according...

Report: Alex Smith wants to be released before free agency

Via Minus Twenty-Two  |  January 28, 2013
Nobody will be surprised if Alex Smith won’t be back with the 49ers next season. The franchise now undoubtedly belongs to Colin Kaepernick, who has taken Smith’s starting job and presumably also his parking spot. Whether Smith’s exit (if it does indeed happen) in the offseason comes via a trade or the team releasing him is still TBD. But according to Pro Football Talk, Smith...

Wrongly shelved quarterback Alex Smith wants to be released by the 49ers and walk away from San Francisco

Via Sports by Colin  |  January 28, 2013
Rather than waiting to be traded in the offseason, wrongly shelved quarterback Alex Smith will reportedly request the San Francisco 49ers to release him before the start of free agency. After getting concussed in November, 2011 AP NFL Coach of the Year Jim Harbaugh sandbagged the 28-year-old Smith and inserted Colin Kaepernick as the team’s permanent replacement under center. The...

49ers' Alex Smith is asking for his release

Via The Sports Rocker  |  January 28, 2013
Word is out that 49ers quarterback Alex Smith is asking for his release from the team. The news comes from Mike Florio of Profootballtalk.com. The news comes as no surprise, and I wouldn't be surprised to see the 49ers grant his request.I wrote last week about how the Chiefs should go after Smith. But if Smith opts for free agency, that could open up things a bit. You'll...

Report: Alex Smith Will Not Be Member of 49ers Next Year, Will Be Traded or Released This Offseason

Via NESN.com  |  January 29, 2013
After being usurped as the 49ers starting quarterback by Colin Kaepernick this season, rumors have swirled that Alex Smith wants out of San Francisco. It appears the Niners will grant him that wish. NFL.com’s Ian Rapoport reported via Twitter on Tuesday that the 49ers will attempt to trade Smith after their season ends this Sunday, and if that proves unsuccessful he will be respectfully...

Alex Smith Wants to Be Released Not Traded After the Super Bowl

Via BlackSportsOnline  |  January 28, 2013
I understand it is a business, but the 49ers should do what is best for Alex Smith. This wasn’t a Drew Bledsoe situation where the team was 0-2, Bledsoe gets hurt for a long period of time and Brady came in and saved the day. Alex Smith was playing well, the 49ers were winning and he only missed one week. He has been a model teammate throughout the entire situation, so if he wants...

Alex Smith Will Ask To Be Released from 49ers

As the San Francisco 49ers prepare for the Super Bowl against the Baltimore Ravens, 49ers QB Alex Smith is preparing for the next chapter in his NFL career. Since Colin Kaepernick took over as the starting quarterback, Smith became the backup quarterback. Smith is not content to be a backup and feels with last years success he should be a starter. Will the 49ers trade him or release...

Some Browns bits on Alex Smith, Leroy Hoard, Ray Horton, Ozzie Newsome and more

Via Waiting For Next Year  |  January 30, 2013
There’s not one topic I feel like talking about today as we endure a week of Super Bowl and Hall of Fame propoganda. The Browns introduced their defensive coordinator Ray Horton yesterday, but even that was putting a cap on old news. With that in mind, I thought I would just combine a bunch of things into one post today… Alex Smith to the Browns? So Brandon Weeden thought he...

Let Smith-to-Cards speculation commence

Via Fox Sports Arizona  |  January 31, 2013
Oddly enough, maybe the two biggest stories out of Super Bowl week have been related to deer-antler spray (?) and the future of one team's backup quarterback. With rumors circulating that 49ers quarterback Alex Smith will request his release after the season, FOXSports.com reported Tuesday that the Niners instead will seek to trade their former starter in hopes of recouping...

49ers reportedly will try to trade Alex Smith before releasing him

Via Larry Brown Sports  |  January 29, 2013
Alex Smith has been a good teammate despite being demoted this season, so the 49ers reportedly will try to treat him well in return. Smith had a good season for San Francisco before being replaced as the team’s starting quarterback after being concussed during a Week 10 tie against St. Louis. Colin Kaepernick replaced him, led the team to the Super Bowl, and has clearly emerged...

Darrelle Revis To The 49ers For Alex Smith?

Via NFL Trade Rumors  |  January 29, 2013
Here’s another installment of speculative trade ideas for Jets CB Darrelle Revis. ESPN’s Adam Schefter joined SPN Radio Tuesday morning and tossed out a speculative trade idea that would involve the Jets sending Revis to the San Francisco 49ers in return for QB Alex Smith and a second round pick, per Jane McManus. There’s no question that the Jets could use quarterback and...

Notebook: Alex still playing the good soldier

Via sfo.scout.com  |  January 29, 2013
Alex Smith ran off the field at Candlestick Park two weeks ago to a standing ovation and cheers from the sellout crowd, not much different from the reception last January when he took the 49ers oh so close to a Super Bowl. Now relegated to a backup role with the NFC champions, Smith's trip to the Big Easy this week leading up to Sunday's Super Bowl against Baltimore is hardly...
