I don't see it that way. The reason there was no market was because teams knew that the 49ers wouldn't pay Alex Smith 8.5 mil to hold a clip board.
Teams were hoping the 49ers would trade him.
Furthermore, what in the blue hell does that have to do with anything today?
Do you think Andy Reid or John Dorsey right now are blaming Alex Smith for this loss and are going to release him?

actually, teams were gambling that the Niners would cut Smith because they knew the Niners didn't want/couldn't afford to keep Smith's salary on the books if they wanted to resign their key free agents.
