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.

Nah.

Trade term update: Washington is sending KC a third-round pick and an unidentified player for QB Alex Smith, per sources.

Kerrigan would be awesome.

Doubtful but awesome.

[KC_Connection]

He did bring playoffs, but this team never had a shot at the SB as long as he was the QB here. I wanted him gone the day I heard he was traded for. We've finally got hope again.

[Eleazar]

If it had only been a third, we’d have all been a little disappointed but shrugged and just been happy that they actually traded him. A third and a good player will be a nice haul.

I'd like to think that Brett Veach is the mastermind in getting a deal done and what ever it is we will reap the rewards.

Plus with who's the current CHief starter, that a bad thing?

Kelce, Hill, Conley, Wilson, Robinson, even Harris looked great... if we're downgrading from a 2nd rounder, it had better be someone better and more proven than Doctson.

[O.city]

I would take Cravens.

It's not gonna be just the player though, contractually and such has to match up.

[ILChief]

I can't believe schefter or rapaport can't dig up who the player is

[NIUhuskies]

Wonder if it’s DJ Swearinger and they plan to cut Parker
