49ers To Release LB Aldon Smith After Latest Arrest

The San Francisco 49ers will cut Aldon Smith following the 25-year-old linebacker's arrest Thursday night on hit and run, driving under the influence and vandalism charges, a team source tells ESPN's Jim Trotter.

The 49ers are holding a news conference on Friday afternoon.

Smith was booked into the Santa Clara County jail and held on $26,000 bond before his release Friday. Authorities said they would provide more information later Friday morning.

This is the 25-year-old Smith's third arrest on suspicion of drunken driving since entering the league in 2011 as a first-round draft pick out of Missouri.

Such an idiot. It will be interesting to see who picks him up and when.

 

Washington.

 

Eagles fans are saying Cowboys. Surprise, surprise.

 

Its not like he's been on the field much anyway. Hope he figures out his life, and even though he's really talented I'm glad they finally cut him and moved on.

 

I can't imagine that he would play this season after he meets with Goodell.

 

Just Eagles fans?

 

Nope. Everyone. Surprise, surprise.

 

Is the talent worth bullshirt? He has more concerns other than football right now.

 

You would think he'd be out for 2015, but with Goodell who knows?

 

I know he is going to be waiting for quite a while to play, knowing Roger's penchant for stick measuring.

 

The right move was made here. Hopefully Aldon Smith gets help.

 

He is a good talent on the field. It's just a damn shame it's going to waste.

 

once a POS, always a POS.

 

Not a scheme fit anyways

 

IMO, it's a macho thing. Big NFL players don't need drivers.
