Alex Smith Indicates There's A "Very Good Chance" He'll Re-Sign With 49ers

Alex Smith, who is an unrestricted free agent, spoke publicly for the first time since the 2010 season ended. He said he didn't want to be quoted but said the thrust of his comments could be relayed. The main thrust - that there's a good likelihood that he will return to the 49ers for a seventh season. San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh has been hinting at that development for months and has even gone so far to give Smith a copy of the playbook. Harbaugh has complimented Smith at every turn and said during the draft that if Smith were to return, Smith would be the odds on favorite to be the team's starter for 2011 and has a standing one-year contract -- believed to be worth up to $5 million -- on the table when the lockout ends and free agency begins.
