Profootballtalk.com reports the 49ers have not yet decided whether or not to exercise Aldon Smith's fifth-year club option. It's not totally different than Adam Schefter's early-Friday report, which simply stated the Niners are "not expected" to exercise Smith's option. Expecting things and making decisions are not the same. Like Schefter and San Francisco writer Tim Kawakami, we fully expect the 49ers to decline Smith's fifth-year option. The deadline for teams to decide on 2011 first-rounders is May 3.
