Kent Somers from AZCentral sports reports that the Arizona Cardinals are exploring the possibility of trading for 49ers quarterback Alex Smith.

It’s unknown how serious the Cardinals are about trading for a quarterback for the second time in less than two years. But they are intrigued by Smith’s experience, intelligence and talents, according to the source. They believe much of his struggles early in his career can be attributed to changes in coaches and offensive systems.
If the Cardinals are considering Smith as their new QB and get burned like the did with Kevin Kolb, the entire Front Office should be looking for new jobs. While the source attributes Smith’s early career struggles to coaching and offensive scheme changes, Bruce Arians did a great job with Andrew Luck so I’m sure they are betting that Arians can do the same for Smith.
But trading a QB inter-conference isn’t too smart unless you know exactly what that QB can do (think Donovan McNabb to Washington). We’ll keep you updated on this trade rumor
