Alex Smith remains confident that a new contract will be agreed on with the 49ers soon.
"I think so," Smith said of a new pact. "It's just a process. It takes some time. It will get done."
According to a team source, Smith won't have to worry about San Francisco targeting Peyton Manning.
Smith is set to become a free agent next Tuesday and is coming off the best year of his career.
