Quarterback Alex Smith has a new home, as sources tell The Star that the Chiefs have reached agreement to trade their veteran starter of the last five seasons to Washington.

There is no word on the compensation yet, and any trade involving Smith can’t be completed until the first day of the new league year,

which begins at 3 p.m. on March 14. But the sources say the deal is in place and will proceed.


Smith, 33, is coming off a stellar season in which he set career-highs in passing yards (4,042), touchdowns (26) and passer rating (104.7).

However, Smith was entering the final year of his contract with the Chiefs, and he has a cap number of $20.6 million for 2018. By trading

him, the club stands to save $17 million.

The deal also clears the way for 2017 first-round draft pick Patrick Mahomes to become the Chiefs’ new starting quarterback. Mahomes’ regular-season NFL debut, a 27-24 win over the Denver Broncos on Dec. 31, was a success.

Mahomes completed 22 of 35 passes for 284 yards with an interception in the game and showed poise while leading the Chiefs’ game-winning drive.

“I think he’s got what it takes man,” Denver cornerback Aqib Talib said at the Pro Bowl. “He’s got a super strong arm, he can make all

the throws. He made great reads in our game. I know we had a simple game plan on defense, but he made great reads and took control of the

game.”

Smith was acquired from San Francisco in 2013 for two third-round picks. He posted a 50-26 record as a starter since arriving in

Kansas City and has made two straight Pro Bowl appearances.

This story will be updated.

Perhaps the most impressive thing about Fuller's game in his second season is how many techniques he's mastered. When asked to play more aggressively, he gets his hand on the receiver to use him as a landmark and smoothly follows the receiver through the route. In zone coverage, he has the smooth backpedal and quick hip turn to stick and stay with receivers, as well as the recovery speed to race in and grab the football. He has the potential to be the best slot cornerback in the NFL, and one could argue that he was just that in 2017.

Redskins fans weren’t to upset with the trade until they saw its fuller. Now they are losing their minds. I guess that’s a good sign

McCown is not a bad idea. He basically ran the air raid in NYJ.

Chiefs acquired CB Kendall Fuller and a 2018 third-round pick from the Redskins in exchange for QB Alex Smith.

A 2016 third-round, Fuller struggled as a rookie off a 2015 knee injury. But this past season, as the Redskins' No. 1 slot corner, Fuller appeared in all 16 games and graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 5 cover corner out of 121 qualifiers. The Chiefs really struggled on the back end of the defense in 2017, so Fuller will be a welcomed addition and should slide right into slot duties in K.C.

How you like that haters? Over a $1 million for every regular season game he plays.

Woooooooooooooooooo!

I'd say nobody here cares because the Chiefs aren't the ones paying for a average QB any longer.

Nobody here deserves this team ****ting on its fans repeatedly for 20 years.

89% chance Smith sucks next year..


My heart just sank...I have no words

Laughing stock of the NFL...Bruce Allen is a ****ing clown. Should of never let SM go...I hate this team right now.


**** you, Bruce.
**** you, Dan.
I'm done.
Can't take this dumpster fire. **** off to this front office for a while.

**** it...I've had enough...I'm gonna go become a 49ers fan lol

I don't love it. We will need a much stronger D and running game to win with Smith.

Holy hell we have this fool until he’s 39?
