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.

As they should be. They got worse today.

I can relate to the Skins fans. I felt that way when we traded for Smith as well.

At first, a 2 was too much. Then we found out it was two 2nd round picks and I saw smoke blowing out of my ears.

Kind of strange to be on the other side of a trade like this. Kind of nice.

The tears of the true fans on Facebook are delicious.

A real nice deal by Veach. We don't have a 1st round pick, but he gets an established CB who some would consider a 1st round talent, picks up a 3rd rounder and clears a bunch of cap space. A nice move to position this team to compete next year, and not have to waste a year or two restructuring the team.

The hilarity of today is that I’ve seen this before. This is now the place to be. I think the Chiefs did much better than the 49ers did mostly because Kaepernick was always trash and Mahomes looks to be a monster. But the reactions here were the same as they were on the 49er board. Comical to say the least.

I’m totally with you on that one. I felt the exact same way.

I could see the Skins backing out if they hadn't agreed to the $94M deal. That's going to make it essentially a pipe dream for Skins fans.

this

and what made it even worse was that one of them was like a 2.1 and the other was decent too but losing that 2.1 was just so stupid

Poor 49er fans. They missed out on all those Lombardi's and now have Jimmy Garoppolo.
