Alex Smith still a bit amazed at how quickly the 49ers have turned over

If you’ve stood back and watched in amazement as one of the top teams of recent years was systematically dismantled this offseason, you’re not alone.

Those who got caught up in the dismantling were as well.

Chiefs quarterback Alex Smith said it was “crazy” watching how many players and coaches followed him out the door in San Francisco the last two years.

“I knew, for sure, some of those defensive players we wouldn’t be able to keep around, just contract-wise and years-wise, like Dashon [Goldson] and Justin [Smith],” Smith said, via Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercury News.
