Yeah, I don't like Aldon, but he is one hell of a football player.

Yea, right. We drafted Frank Clark as our first overall pick then our GM told little white lies about how thorough our investigation of him was. We gave serious consideration to bringing in Greg Hardy. We traded for Percy Harvin even though there was substantial evidence that he was a cancer. We even gave the worst locker room cancer in two decades, T.O., a look-see.
Pete and John are no different than any other HC/GM. They'd make a pact with the Devil if they thought he could help them win a Lombardi.

Carroll said it's all about giving players an opportunity.
“Over the years, I've always found myself wanting to find guys that need some consideration or special opportunities,” Carroll said Tuesday. “It's guys that other people maybe don't see something special in. We will take a chance on a guy here or there. I've always been hopeful in finding the best in them. Sometimes it works out and sometimes it doesn't.”
Carroll also said they won't give up on a player that has a problem.
“We'll always look to give guys a second chance around here,” he said. “The fact that the league has adjusted the rules, allowing a guy who is suspended under these circumstances to be with us, we're going to take care of them a look after them until we get them back.
“Disappointment is the best way to say it. We try to coach them and guide them and mentor them in every way we can. When guys have an issue, we are going to take responsibility for helping them."

Why pay for trouble?
Think that we would have learned our lesson with Harvin.

But he isn't going to be available to a single team until next year, most likely, making this whole discussion pretty much moot.

The Niners have had 12 Players arrested within 3 years?! No other NFL team has had that many players with that many arrest. The fact of the matter is that Aldon Smith was a "known commodity," with red flags when he was drafted by GM Trent Baalke out of Mizzou. The dude is a major head case, needs some serious rehab (not a 5 week stent at home with his Mama), and needs to get his life in order...Then maybe a team can, & will take a chance on him again, because he is a great player imvho...

I'm not saying that we have more or less class than any other team. What I am saying is that we are no different than any other team and will jump in bed with almost any player that we feel can get us a Lombardi. Being a classy organization is incidental to the primary goal of winning championships.
But I agree with everything else you said...serious rehab, getting his life in order, etc. I would hope that the league would set some pretty stringent requirements for his re-instatement so that teams that were interested in employing him would have some confidence that he's turned over a new leaf.

He's technically a free agent, so it's not moot. All it takes is for one team to sign him to a cheap 1-2 year deal and just ride out the suspension whenever it gets handed down.
Now it might be in Smith's best interest to wait to see what the suspension is before signing with someone, either this year or next.
If it's a 12 month suspension, then he'd be better to wait until next off season when his value is high once teams start thinking about 2016.

No one is going to sign him before his case with the law is settled, and perhaps someone can help me out here, but I would be really surprised if the league would allow him to negotiate a new contract while he is on suspension.
So for all intents and purposes, the discussion is moot until both the law and the league has passed judgment on him.
