And rumours out of Santa Clara are that the 49ers have lost patience with Aldon Smith and odds are that they will cut him and eat the $3 Million dollar loss (roster bonus to be paid) that Smith has received.
Team officials who were quick to stand up for Smith after his DUI and subsequent rehab stint are not willing to defend him this time. The feeling is that he got himself into this and it will take a lot to regain the team's trust. Probably more than he is able in a short time. It is expected a 2015 team option that must be decided by May 3rd will be declined. The team will wait out the legal and NFL proceedings and then make a final decision.
