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.

Hey Dorsey, remember when you brought Alex Smith to town and got fired for building a one and done team while being dog shit in negotiating anything and wanted to trade with the Chiefs for Alex Smith?

Washington should fire their entire FO.

Honestly, what positive thing has happened to the Redskins since Bruce Allen has been in charge of football ops?

Shanahan messed up RG3 but saved some face by drafting Cousins.

Now they're letting Cousins walk.

WTF.

Solid trade... didn’t figure anything happening just yet. Kudos to you guys and not a terrible place for Alex to land.

Snyder has to be the dumbest owner in the league.

I’d rather have Breeland.

Big difference

Lies. I said multiple times that unless Smith agrees to an extension no team is giving up valuable picks. Go look it up

[pugsnotdrugs19]

If there was a bidding war... man. Who knows what they gave up. Cleveland had all of the ammo in the world.

Or Andy asked Alex where he wanted to go and Alex said Washington. Andy treats his people good and it was obvious that Smith wasn't excited about going to Cleveland.
