 There wouldn't be much competition. I can't believe we overpaid Alex. 

 THIS IS ALEX'S LAST CHANCE! You have wide outs, running backs a monster at TE and one of the fiercest defense. Plus, we have an offensive minded coach who played your position. No excuses to have difficulties in the red zone!

I guess that's the price the 49ers have to pay for going at Manning....


...not gonna lie, 100% worth it. Manning said he almost came...

Somebody needs to make a thread about the dirt Alex has on the niners, how the hell this bum still stealing money from the franchise? Dude has made over $55 million and is guaranteed another $16.5 million. What has he done for this team that would warrant over $70 million in compensation and a multitude of chances. How do you cut ties with good players that brought results over money but have no problems paying inadequate players that have done nothing? Got me perplexed like the characters on Lost when they first saw the Smoke Monster.

Didn't Alex also take a pay cut?

49ers did actually try to contact Mike Wallace but he wants a similar contact to Fitzgerald

He can stay with Pittsburgh for that much

Thank the lord!!

So what was the point of the signing of Cartwright? I guess now he will just be an alternative...

Anyone know the numbers on Manningham's deal?

theres a huge differences between KICK returns and PUNT returns. cartwright is definitely not a punt return kind of guy-- Ginn is.
However, with Ginn back, he can now man the KR and PR for all i care.

Quarterback Alex Smith's contract counts $9.25 million against the 49ers' 2012 salary cap, according to a document obtained Thursday by CSNBayArea.com through an NFL Players Association source.

Smith signed a three-year, $24 million contract with $9 million in guaranteed money, as reported on Wednesday. The deal can average as much as $11 million annually if Smith maxes out his incentives and escalator.

[REWIND: 49ers raised Smith's offer slightly to $9 million guaranteed]

On the surface, the contract looks as if it contains $16.5 million in guaranteed money. But Smith's second-year base salary of $7.5 million is fully guaranteed only if Smith remains on the 49ers' roster on April 1, 2013.

Smith received no signing bonus, but his $5 million base salary and $3 million roster bonus for 2012 are guaranteed. Also, $1 million of his second-year salary is fully guaranteed.

In figuring Smith's cap figure, likely-to-be-earned incentives of $1.25 million count each of the three seasons because Smith would have reached those incentives with his performance from last season.

Smith's projected cap figures for the three years of his contract are $9.25 million in 2012, $9.75 million in 2013, and $8.75 million in 2014.

Here's how Smith's average salary per season ranks among other quarterbacks in the NFL (with years the deals span):

Average QB salaries per year
Peyton Manning $19.2 million (2012-'16)
Tom Brady $18 million (2010-'14)
Michael Vick $16.67 million (2011-'16)
Eli Manning $16.25 (2009-'15)
Philip Rivers $15.3 million (2009-'15)
Jay Cutler $14.67 (2009-'13)
Ben Roethlisberger $14.67 million (2011-'15)
Drew Brees $14.4 million* (2012)
Mark Sanchez $13.49 (2012-'16)
Sam Bradford $13 million (2010-'15)
Aaron Rodgers $12.7 million (2008-'14)
Kevin Kolb $12.4 million (2011-'16)
Matthew Stafford $12 million (2009-'14)
Tony Romo $11.25 million (2011-'16)
Matt Ryan $11.25 million (2008-'13)
Ryan Fitzpatrick $9.83 million (2011-'17)
Matt Cassel $9.66 million (2009-'14)
Matt Schaub $8 million (2007-'12)
Alex Smith $8 million (2012-'14)
-Exclusive franchise tag (subject to raise)

Other notable quarterbacks
Matt Flynn $6.5 million (2012-'14)
Cam Newton $5.5 million (2011-'14)
Josh Freeman $5.24 million (2009-'13)
Tim Tebow $4.55 million (2010-'14)
Joe Flacco $4.33 million (2008-'12)
