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.

Colt McCoy?

[pugsnotdrugs19]

Kerrigan is my guess. They have pass rush depth.

It'd be weird if the player was Kirk Cousins.

I can't believe people actually thought Smith was gonna still be a Chief next year.

I like him but he's never played in a defense like ours that plays so much man. And he isn't getting faster or quicker at 30. Costs too much for what we'd get IMO.

Veach passes his first test: doing business with the DUMBEST franchise in the league.

This deal better not fall through.

Why? Alex is gone. People hoping for a 1st were being completely unreasonable. Veach got a 3rd and a player for a 34 year old QB with 13 years of evidence to suggest he isn't going to get the job done. A 3rd and a player for that is pretty ****ing good and it really doesn't matter who the player is.

Apart from a garbage OL and bad running game, sure.

I couldn't imagine what the defensive back meetings would be like.

They couldn't do that, Cousins won't be a Redskin when the league year ends.

How is this not tampering? What is different about this deal and the deal with Maclin?

[Prison Bitch]

Josh Norman has had 2 really poopy seasons with wash, pro fb ref has him at an AV of only 5 (vs 15 his last year in Carolina). He had 0 INT in 14 starts last year
