ESPN's Michael Smith reports that the 49ers and Justin Smith agreed to a six-year, $45 million contract that included $20 million in guarantees. Looks like Nolan and Smith's fancy date went well.

Smith is known for having a great motor and solid athleticism. If the team stays with the 3-4, he'd likely play outside linebacker, as he did show great athleticism (ran in the 4.5s) seven years ago helping him get taken fourth overall. He is coming off a career-worst season, 2 sacks, but does have a career total of 43.5 sacks. 3-4 guru Dick LeBeau has always thought highly of him as a potential linebacker. Smith also said a month ago that he feels he could fit in well as a linebacker in the 3-4 scheme. Matt Maiocco disagrees and believes he was signed to be a defensive end, and plays at 280 lbs. Could we be changing to a 4-3?

Update on Javon Walker: Matt Maiocco says the 49ers' interest was "lukewarm" for Walker, who signed a contract with the Raiders.
