When it comes to how to best deal with Smith going forward, Baalke said that's going to be a process. "That's still being dis - cussed internally," Baalke said. "Everything factors in, you take a look at every- thing. The one word I can use to describe the situation is disappointing. The impor- tant thing is that it's equally as disappointing to Aldon. "Like all of us, you have the keys to your own car. You make decisions and you live with the consequences of those decisions. Life is a growing process, it's a growing process for all of us. He knows what needs to be done. We're all account - able. Each and every one of us in this organization is ac- countable." The 49ers also still hope to reach agreement on a long-term extension with quarterback Colin Kaepe- rnick before the start of training camp. Baalke said the team would let the investigation play out regarding Kaeper - nick being linked to a Miami police report earlier this month involving a woman who passed out in a hotel and later woke up in a hos - pital not knowing how she got there. Kaepernick has strongly denied any wrongdoing via Twitter. "Any time an individ - ual puts himself in a situa- tion that becomes newswor- thy, we certainly pay atten- tion to it," Baalke said. "To say there's no concern, that would probably be a misrep- resentation of the facts. At the same time, let's let this thing play out and let's see where it goes." In addition, cornerback Chris Culliver — who be - came famous for the wrong reasons when he made anti- gay remarks before the Su- per Bowl in February 2013 — has pleaded not guilty to misdemeanor hit-and-run charges and felony posses- sion of brass knuckles from a March 28 arrest. "Are we disappointed we've had a string? Abso- lutely," Baalke said. "One is too many. So if one's too many, then five or six is way too many. This isn't some- thing we take lightly. We expect a lot from our foot- ball players. We expect a lot from ourselves." He said he is sorry a few players have hurt the rep- utation of the entire roster and organization. "I'm adamant in my thoughts that this is a good group of men. Have they made some mistakes? Ab - solutely they have," Baalke said. "I'm not going to sit up here and defend them. There is concern. We hold ourselves to a high stan - dard. The community de- serves that. We represent the community." Baalke also addressed his working relation- ship with coach Jim Har- baugh: "To say it's always two rams butting heads is so false and mislead- ing. To say there's no ten- sion would also probably be false and misleading, but it's good tension." Notes: Baalke said he hasn't heard from LaMi - chael James or his repre- sentatives to formally re- quest a trade, but knows the RB said on Twitter he could benefit from a change. Baalke's under- standing is James isn't at the voluntary offseason program because of a new baby at home. ...
