Trent Baalke talks about contract years of Aldon Smith, Vernon Davis

He was sentenced to three years probation, 235 hours of community service and 11 days in a sheriff’s work-crew program.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. (AP) – Having spent his entire football career playing close to his Virginia home, new 49ers wideout Torrey Smith is enjoying his first extended stay out West in the Bay Area. Smith not only participated in those practices but looked in his former Pro Bowl form as a dominant pass rusher.

Smith was suspended for the first nine games of the 2014 season for a series of off-field legal issues.

The 49ers selected Smith with the seventh-overall pick of the 2011 NFL Draft. He had just two sacks in seven games last season. He was arrested in September of 2013 on drunk driving charges.

Money might not be his main motivator, but Davis is in the last year of his contract which means he has to prove that being 31 years old isn’t going to slow him down, and he seems poised to do just that. I think he’s doing an outstanding job. “Life throws things at you, man. Sometimes you cause them, sometimes you don’t. You see that with a lot of these guys”, Baalke said. Own it, fix it, and let s go.

The 26-year-old Smith turned the costliest free-agent acquisition so far for San Francisco common supervisor Trent Baalke, who was promoted to that position in 2011.

“Aldon’s like any young player”, Baalke said at training camp on Tuesday. “He’s growing up, he’s maturing”. “I’m really pleased with the way he’s handled things, the way he’s working both personally and professionally”. From his rookie year in 2006 through 2013, Davis had a very respectable career, with averages of 50 catches, 650 yards and almost seven touchdowns per year. “He knows where we stand and my understanding is he would love to be here, and we would certainly love to keep him here”. I think he expects himself to have a very good year.

“We’re going to work hard to make sure that he remains here, ” Baalke said.

Smith’s agent, Doug Hendrickson, attended Tuesday’s practice and gave no indication that a contract extension is imminent.
